My Industrial Tourist exhibition is now open at the Peak District Lead Mining Museum in Matlock Bath. This is my usual mix of mills, mines, steelworks and a dash of transport thrown in (although I’m beginning to think that I will remove those if I have another exhibition). Compared to the last showing of this…

#571 – My Next Exhibition – The Industrial Tourist at Peak District Lead Mining Museum, Matlock Bath
I’m delighted to announce my next exhibition will be at the marvelous Peak District Lead Mining Museum in Matlock Bath. It will open on Sunday 6th September 2020 and run until 12th October 2020.

#546 – Bernd and Hilla Becher’s Industrial Visions at The National Museum, Cardiff
I try to go to a few photographic exhibitions a year, normally in the North of England. But when I heard that The National Museum in Cardiff were exhibiting work by Bernd and Hilla Becher, I started to make plans for a trip as their work is rarely exhibited in the U.K. As an added…
#538 – The Industrial Tourist exhibition – now open at Astley Hall, Chorley.
Further to my previous post, the Industrial Tourist opened at Astley Hall on Saturday and all the hard work has paid off! Rory from the Astley Hall staff and myself (but mainly Rory) put all the frames up on Friday and I had a small opening for family and friends on Saturday. Well, I call…
#537- My next exhibition – The Industrial Tourist at Astley Hall, Chorley
I am pleased to announce that my next photographic exhibition will open on 16th November in Astley Hall in my adopted home town of Chorley. As usual this will be my usual Monochrome photographs of mongy old mills, derelict mines, beached ships and various other industrial artefacts that litter the northern landscape. It opens at…
#496 – Denis Thorpe’s ‘A View From The North Exhibition’ and book
Cammell Laird’s 1988 I recently had the huge privilege of meeting Denis Thorpe at the opening of his ‘A View From The North Exhibition’ at Stockport Memorial Art Gallery. I’ve been a fan since seeing his exhibition at the Lowry a few years back and my copy of his book ‘On Home Ground’ is well thumbed….
#483 – Millscapes Exhibition Preparation 4
One thing I’ve only really touched on in my previous posts is image selection. I mentioned in my first post that I had a much smaller body of work to choose from than previous exhibitions due to the exhibition covering just two mills. And although Bailey Mill remains one of my favourite explores from a…
#482 – Millscapes Exhibition Preparation 3
OK, so it’s been a while since I posted on this, but I’ve been very busy with other stuff, so let’s pick it up again. Layout I’d previously visited the museum and measured the gallery space. What I always do when laying out any portfolio, book or exhibition, is to get a load of small…
#480 – Millscapes Exhibition Preparation 2
Due to the quantity of mounts involved, I decided that cutting my own would take too long (it’s a laborious task) , so I decided to buy pre-cut mounts. I meant to order single mounts but as I was in a hurry to order them (during a 5 minute lunch break between meetings….) I ended…
#479 – Millscapes exhibition preparation
A few of the prints I’ll be mounting and framing this weekend and over the next week….. So there’s a couple of weeks to go before I set up the Millscapes exhibition at Saddleworth Museum, and I thought I’d do a post on the preparation. Unlike my previous exhibitions, this one contains photographs from just…
