The Industrial Tourist – Exploring the Industrial North

Synopsis

This thought-provoking talk (previously titled ‘Mechanical Landscapes’) is approximately 90 minutes and is a wander through the remnants of the northern industrial landscape. Covering a diverse selection of sites such as the enormous slate quarries of Snowdonia, abandoned textile mills in Lancashire and Yorkshire, a disused underground coal mine, the bizarre landscapes of active steelworks, a beached passenger ship, as well as unique views of the inside of derelict cooling towers, this talk is somewhat different to the majority of camera club talks. The images are predominantly black and white, with splashes of colour.

Since 2014, the talk has been presented at 36 camera clubs in Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Merseyside and Lincolnshire, while the online talk has been presented to over15 clubs (and counting) across the country. And the content is constantly evolving!
