Exhibitions
Home Town After Dark is inspired by an evening photographing Hall Royd Brass Band. Moody, emotive photographs of Shipley at night. As funding cuts bit our council, the lights went out in and around Shipley. Even so, there are still some organisations and businesses that continue to provide welcoming and safe pools of light.
From the Ground Up for Airedale and Bradford RSPB Group December 2022. A thriving bird population depends not on conservation for one species, but on a varied natural landscape that supports a whole ecosystem.
Conservation comes with problems so we look at putting in place the conditions for Nature to move in and make it's own decisions. There are exciting projects around Bradford that let nature move in and do the work for us. We take a tour of some notable examples.

6th November 2025 The Aire now passes beneath the M1 motorway ino lands that were once open cast mines. Its meanders have been taken out , the river straightened so as not to flood the mine workings. The craters are now filled with water and life but the river's former looping route has not been restored.
3rd November 2025 This is Stourton from the river bank where the vegetation was too prickly to get through wearing shorts. It was a fabulously fine day and nice to see these cheerful, if not natural, colours.
26th October 2025 Posting photos, I also do some research and here at Aire Mile 51, I find that the River Aire is not in its natural route, but has been moved over to the North East of its original course. Blimey!
2nd October 2025 I've got four talks arranged now and am looking forward to an exhibition by photo book producers at the Impressions Gallery in Bradford. I'm at Mile 44 now and am nearly half-way to Airmyn and about to enter Leeds.
