À propos du livre
Shadows of the North is an exploration of the remains of the northern textile industry. In many areas of the North this industry dominated, both directly and indirectly, the landscape, the economy, the community and the social life of many towns and villages.
Although textile manufacturing has almost vanished from the UK, it's legacies can still be witnessed today in our urban landscapes, the ethnic make up of our communities, and the impressive Town Halls and Civic Centres of towns like Bolton, Accrington, and others.
But while some of the remaining textile mills and chimneys (such as where you are standing now) have been carefully restored and repurposed, many are stood quietly decaying, waiting for demolition or reuse. It is in this uncertain period that I have photographed these giants of our past.

À propos du créateur
In 2007, for reasons that are now unclear, I set up my website www.theviewfromthenorth.org. Intended as a portfolio for my varied photographic interests, it evolved instead into a showcase for my urban exploration and industrial landscape photography. Ten years or so later, it's still going strong. I've also developed a spin off website www.mechanicallandscapes.com for my monochrome work. The past 5 years or so has seen me increasingly focus on interpreting and presenting my work in black and white, and it seemed like the next step would be to separate it from the predominantly colour, locations centric approach of theviewfromthenorth.org. I'm based in Lancashire in Great Britain, where the industrial landscape and the rural moorland blends seamlessly. I'm an engineer by profession, and take photographs of the northern industrial landscape where I live and work.
