I saw these images in exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle, a few years ago and picked up the publication at the same time. The images are great in print, but imagine seeing giant versions on the wall - it was very impressive.
Possibly my favorite British photographer the show i saw in London a few years ago was incredible
and this particular set it lovely
Photos very reminiscent of songs from Sting's "The Soul Cages" album, particularly "The Island of Souls" wherein the boy "Billy" and his father lived next to the shipyard and whose lives seemed dwarfed by the hulking ships that dominated their horizons.
Interesting and they are from the same area I guess. Best wishes in 2022
Very beautiful presentation as credit to Chris Killip's amazing work, I love the way your hands guide us into the full memories of the pictures bringing us into the presence of it...thank you, much appreciated..
Really good vid cheers. My mate and I (both togs) went down to Wallsend today to suss out where these shots were taken. Bit difficult to locate the exact places with all those terraces being demolished.
Thank you for the heads up on this. It's been a while since I was there too and I probably wont recognize any of it. have a great 2022;
03:14 Wallsend, North Tyneside.
Where can I get this book? I can't find it anywhere?
