Album artwork might, these days, only be seen as the tiny image in the bottom corner of iTunes, but big rock poster art has never been more popular. And there’s no better place in the country to find and buy examples of music-oriented illustration and photography than the Richard Goodall Gallery. These are artworks in their own right – perfect for making your living room look achingly cool – and can come ready framed.

The gallery is a long-term Northern Quarter resident, purveying prints and posters from Thomas Street since 2000.
