Saltburn at 150.

As part of a special commemoration to celebrate Saltburn in Yorkshire 150 years as a Victorian town, I participated in a Festival of Victorian Photography with three other wetplate collodion photographers, Graham Vasey, Tony Richards and Marizu Okereke. Visited by Francis Frith back in the 19th century (as part of his colossal project to photograph every town and village in the United Kingdom), sixteen photographers in total converged in Saltburn last month to photograph scenes with a Victorian slant.

On 2nd July I gave a public demonstration at the Toc H building, off Albion Terrace, of the wet collodion process, which was used during the two-day April visit.
