Jimmy Jock, Albert & the Six Sided Clock

back

Commissioned by the Merseyside Maritime Museum this work looks at the changes affecting the Port of Liverpool during a period of major transition. The workforce was reduced from many thousands to a few hundred dock employees, whilst the traditional warehouses were being demolished to make way for container depots. My aim was to capture this process and the people caught up in these changes.

Published by Cornerhouse Publications in 1993.
