Description

In 1986, Geoff Brown was made redundant due to the closure of Churchill's Engineering Works in Blaydon, near Newcastle upon Tyne. A keen photographer, he documented the last few weeks of the factory in a series of black and white photographs. The images reproduced in this book capture how the workers faced up to unemployment and an uncertain future, and explore how the closure of the town's biggest employer affected the community. An important piece of social history, the collection represents a close-up observation of the decline of industry in the North-East of England. Includes 44 photographs with an introduction by the photographer and a history of Churchill's.
