The land time forgot

A body of work that documents a former mining town. With a lack of development since the pit closures, Goldthorpe's a desolate town. The aesthetics illustrate a town that's frozen in time. The absence of people, highlight's the neglect that the community's endured, a community that's unnoticed and forgotten. Conditions here are so dire, it's like living in the Victorian era.
