Exhibition: Last Orders at the Bar: The Demise of the Great British Pub


Just because something is broken doesn't mean it is not beautiful.

The pub is a symbol of Britain. It provides us with a sense of pride, of community and best of all a welcoming place in which to enjoy a pint. The series “Last Orders at the Bar” documents the loss of the traditional British pub. Each image presents us with a once thriving hub of the community, now empty and alone. Whether nestled within a busy street, or hidden away within a forgotten rural setting; amongst the demolition and dereliction lays architectural gems sodden with memories of times passed. Each image pertains to a lost charm ravaged by twenty first century life.

These photographs act not as an obituary for the British public house, but a petition against their decline and a testament to a different era.

Private view: Friday 15th Jan 6pm-9pm

Post Card Show 2009

Our annual Post Card Show is now on and runs until the 18th of December. Thanks to everyone that sent in their work, opening all the entries was like Christmas coming early!

The Post Card Show is always a popular exhibition and this years works are incredibly varied and unique. It's great to see everyone's personal interpretations shining through the fixed 6x4 inch postcard size format. This show is a good opportunity to pick up a thoughtful Christmas gift for a reasonable £20 each!
