Street & Documentary Photography

“Unapologetically honest, and in some cases tinged with humour, this collection of photographs document another important chapter in the story of Britain’s post-industrial heritage.”

Imogen Holmes-Roe
Curator of Art & Photography
National Mining Museum for England
