Synopsis
Returning to the North East in 2001 to document the Durham Coalfield, at one time the heartland of the British coal industry, Chris Steele-Perkins found himself in that ex-urban culture that we now associate with "Billy Elliot". This world of "lamping" (for rabbits), ferreting, whippet racing, grouse shooting, pigeon fancying and the rearing of birds of prey is a survival of what D. H. Lawrence once described as "a curious cross between industrialism and the old agricultural England of Shakespeare and Milton". Chris Steele-Perkins has memorably recorded this with visual wit, and a constant eye for the extraordinary. Nor is he at all sentimental: the harsh realities of blood-stained slaughter-houses and the vandalism of fly-tipping in the open countryside aren't excluded. His photographs, he says, "serve as both eulogy and elegy".

Northern Exposures
Seller: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. In powerful black-and-white images, the award-winning photographer Chris Steele-Perkins records the lives and pursuits of people in and around the former pit villages of Northumbria and County Durham. Alongside characterful portraits of farmers, horsemen, pigeon fanciers, falconers and vets, he captures - in sometimes graphic detail - huntsmen with dogs, with ferrets, and the illicit 'lampers' who operate by night.
