2006 Mersey Road { 108 images } Created 16 Nov 2008

Mersey Road was a year-long commission I undertook in 2006 on behalf of the Mersey Basin Campaign to celebrate the organisation's 25th anniversary the following year.

The project followed the river's course from high up in the Pennine hills all the way into Liverpool Bay and featured many of the most iconic locations along the way, as well as many unseen, hidden places.

The images reproduced here are a larger edit of the final selection, which was published in a book entitled 'Mersey - The River That Changed The Word' (Bluecoat Press, 2007) and accompanying exhibition which was shown at the Albert Dock in Liverpool, Stockport and Shanghai the following year.
