SHUTTERS DOWN: Tales of the High Street

The High Street is slowly dying.

Cities change. Consumer habits change.

This is my little homage to the High Street. My little shrine to all those shops that did not survive Gentrification.

To all the shops that are still around us, like gentle ghosts, boarded up yet still containing so many memories.

I hope this is my most evocative collection.
