Francis Gavan, Ghost Train Ride, Pottery Fields, Leeds, Spring 2006
ABC (Aerated Bread Company), Camden Road, London, 1979. This is one of the famous tearooms – now defunct at Camden. The initials stand for (rather miserably I think) the Aerated Bread Company.

Scarecrow 58. Scarecrows photographs were taken from 1974 – 2015. 'Scarecrows have always been a feature of my childhood...I've purposefully chosen ones that have no face on them because I didn't want people to laugh at them but imagine them as people...'

Eric Massheder, Vulcan Street, Leeds, 1975. This is Eric’s house tied (house belongs to the company. If he leaves his job he looses the house) to the dripping refinery where he has worked for the past 21 years.

Scarecrow 59. The scarecrows date from 1974-2015 and are essentially Yorkshire. They could be Walter de la Mare's 'host of phantom listeners stood thronging the moonlit air, listening to the world of men' or the various tribes of farmers or anybody. But to me they're friends.
