A part of a City and Guilds Photography course, that I used to teach, the class organised and undertook a project to document the life of a local town. The course was for adults and was run at the Thurrock Technical College – Tilbury is only a couple of miles from there.

As part of the project we organised a local magazine to run a two page spread of the photographs.

Many local businesses and organisations gave access and permission for photos to be taken – with even the local police making a cell available for the goup shot – which I took.

The photo project was undertaken between January and March 2000
