A Stitch in Time - Morecambe, 1990

Rollei SL66SE, T-MAX 100 Professional (Kodak TMX 6052) developed in Ilfosol S 1+9, digitised by photographing the original negative on a light pad - tethered capture and digital development in Lightroom.

 

On one day in 1990 I walked around the area of Yorkshire Street in Morecambe, Lancashire. Most of the shops and small businesses that I photographed then closed down in the following years - the area is now very different, as can be seen on Google Street View. I have been able to fix the geotags accurately using Street View together with many characteristics of the buildings - house numbers, drainpipes, doorways, upper-floor windows and so on.
