This is terrific. I really like how you tell the story and illustrate it. The image of Margaret and Robert is exceptional. The en face and profile work so well together in the surroundings with the drying rack above is lovely!
These are so good especially with these short stories behind them. I totally get why you are sad not having photographed those peoples and their homes more, but that makes the ones you have even more precious! Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful job with these images and stories. Good thing you overcame your shyness! - I especially like the first photo. - Frank’s story was heartbreaking.
Very touching piece! I knew the folks who moved into the renovated farmhouse in Austonley, must have been around 1992? Poor chap having to leave such a location.
Could have been, teacher who used to live up near Yateholme? I rented a cottage from them in the Vendee where my second son was conceived 😳 in summer 1991!
These are wonderful images Andrew - I love how you’ve told the stories behind the images…it’s so important that they are recorded as you’ve done. I lived in an old mining village in Cumbria for a year in the 90’s and really regret not documenting the villagers - so many stories to be told.
Thank you. This was near to Holmfirth in West Yorkshire, UK.

Thank you.
It’s really the images of everyday that help personalize larger social and economic issues and bring them to life.
Thank you.

Thanks Margot, was it Les? I haven’t seen him in decades. I shot Frank on the 18th of April 1995, so very nearly thirty years ago!

Yes he was a teacher and he looked like David Essex.
Haha yes he was good looking I do remember that!
Fascinating stories of time and place.
Thank you Sarah.
Love this Andrew.

Thank you Lin.
So interesting. And I love photographs of people in their living rooms in amongst their daily stuff.
Thank you again.
Great stories full of local colour complements the fine photos
Thanks Adrian.
