Shopkeepers

Photography by Gavin Parry

Shopkeepers’ took place in Pendle in summer 2005 and was the pilot project for the Talking Shop programme. Working with artist Gavin Parry, a series of social-documentary photographs of shops and their keepers were compiled in a souvenir postcard pack and were also the subject of an exhibition at the Mid Pennine Gallery.

Filmed interviews with the shopkeepers formed a soundtrack to the exhibition.

You can watch the original film footage taken here.

We are currently offering the printed images from the original exhibition shown on this page in return for a donation to MPA, which is a registered charity (No 250642). The images are large size prints on board. If you are interested please contact Lucy on 01282 421986 or email [email protected] for further details.
