I caught this on the Culture Show on BBC2 this week, and immediately had to order it, by Sefton Samuels.
It's a range of photos taken over quite a long period of time of Northern England, places, people -- very interesting, portraits of some famous peeps as well (Sir Matt Busby, George Best, Arthur Scargill, LS Lowry etc.) -- it's really good and highly recommended, mostly black and white photos and a real varied range of topics from down in the pits, to children and bingo clubs.
As a softy southerner I think it's a great little book.

... and of course, there is nothing that we 'softy southerners' like more than a good reinforcement of our northern stereotypes
I saw it too and it does look interesting

Ey up!
Just watched it - pretty good.
I'm tempted by the book. At £9 it's not expensive. Perhaps all us northerners cold chip in and share it.
You still need to get to Manchester Vicky. You could take some Northern pics of your own. Why not come up for Manchester Pride 26 - 29 August 2011 www.manchesterpride.com )? I think we'll all be attending and my exhibition at Real camera will still be on if you would like to see it.

I took a lot of stick while working down south - all in good humour of course. I had to explain what my Lurcher was - much to their amusement when I described it as a bit like a whippet.
