Sublime photography of the working class in Northern England, taken during the heavy economic decline in the seventies and eighties. Killip fully embedded himself within these communities which allowed for these candid-like images, yet taken with a large, 4x5 press camera. There is a great cohesiveness to this series, even though the photos were taken across various cities over a long period of time. This new edition improves on the original by not placing the photos across the gutter anymore.

If you happen to be in the Netherlands currently, do visit his wonderful career retrospective in The Hague. Nearly all of the pictures in this book are shown there.
