About: Archives, Lost and Fading

This project was a multiple tiered response to a series of images that no longer had value to the local archives, lost in so many ways. No attribution, no names, no features that would distinguish them in a way the archives felt they could use the images. This led me on a journey to photograph a local working man's club that is in danger of being lost due to changes in lifestyles, the interior today and curreent members form this collection of images. Additionally, I managed  to source images and an album that belonged to my grandfather, images of his family, whose names are now lost. In the album, pictures of his experience of the second world war.

It is hoped that by bringing the images together, they are recontextualised by timelines if by nothing else.
