DOWNLOAD EBOOKCovering a fifteen year period and focusing on the East Wirralarea of Merseyside where esteemed photographer Ken Grant was brought up and still lives, this first book is rooted in autobiography. A region without hold on either manufacturing or industry, its people have for centuries taken casual work as and when it was available, with few guarantees for their future. Responding to the disaffection of this community, to the uneasy sense of dislocation and loss, these photographs capture the essence of lives that are improvised and uncertain. With 60 duotone photos.
