It's Not So Grim

A photographic antithesis to the long-standing idiom ‘it’s grim up North’ this selection shows the rhythm of its streets, it’s heartbeat.

These fleeting moments in the streets of Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool overwrite the perceived bleakness and show the hopefulness and warmth experienced. Without preconceptions these moments are more visible and the true nature of the North West is revealed.
