“After the financial crash of 2008 I embarked on a number of trips around the UK to photograph the impact it was having.
The changes weren’t immediately evident, people and businesses were clearly struggling, but it wasn’t visually evident at every turn. Maybe quantitative easing had created a soft landing, but there were changes, you had to look a little harder to find them.
Here we see among others, a foreclosed Woolworths, one of the early high street casualties of the crash, shipping moored in the River Fal without cargo to ship, an overstocked tower crane yard, a discontinued blast furnace and a row of empty billboards, all signs that the economy was not healthy.” – Garry Simpson
