FACTORIES, WAREHOUSES & OTHER INDUSTRIAL............

GREAT BRITAIN HAS A RICH & SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRIAL HISTORY, COVERING A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES. OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS SADLY, COUNTLESS COMPANIES HAVE CLOSED DOWN, LEAVING ONLY EMPTY BUILDINGS TO SHOW THE EXISTENCE OF OUR ONCE PROUD INDUSTRIAL PAST. MOST COMPANY PREMISES ARE RAZED TO THE GROUND, AND ARE SOON FORGOTTEN, APART FROM, PERHAPS, THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED THEIR AND THE COMMUNITIES NEARBY. FOR SOME YEARS NOW, I'VE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH ANY SUCH BUILDINGS, FROM OLD WAREHOUSES TO POWER STATIONS, GAS HOLDERS TO QUARRIES, ATTEMPTING TO RECORD PARTS OF OUR INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS FOR GOOD.
