PRE-ORDER
Release Date - 20/6/2016

Widnes is a small town situated in the North West of England, it lies in the urban spread between Manchester and Liverpool, the Rugby League belt of St Helens, Runcorn and Warrington, joined together by industrial estates and Barratts homes. Each town has its own fierce pride, its own accent, its own rules, its own stubborn independence.

Pumping huge clouds of steam, the giant eight towers of Fiddlers Ferry Power Station loom over Widnes, an iconic sight, beautiful but bleak, the images in this series are synonymous to the very nature of the small town, a continuous reference to the back and fourth of new growth and constrained sameness, as if defying the inevitable swallowing up by the North West big city megapolis.

This project contains 4 books each containing one gloss print from the series.
