Here is the first preview of a project I am currently working – Buckshaw Village, which is a large scale re-development site located near Chorley, North West England. In 1998, British Aerospace has begun demolition work on previously situated Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF), 928 acre site that supplied ammunition during World War II and after, employing over 28,000 workers at the peak time.

It has currently been transformed into 400 acre of redeveloped land, consisting of Residential and Commercial land, with plans to rebuild the railway station previously used by ROF, along with primary school and more leisure facilities.

Although it was designed to be a perfect utopia with a “better place to live, work, and play”, 11 years later it remains in a paused state, with the majority of commercial warehouses closed down, houses still for sale and other land unused. In this project I wanted to show the sense of solitude and emptiness that you feel when traveling through the village, usually bombarded with billboards pitching the dream life and a great space to work.

The project is shot solely on 5×4, and intended to be displayed in large size C-Type prints in my Graduate exhibition shows at Cube Gallery Manchester and The Bargehouse Gallery London in 2010. The series is still work in progress, and aimed to have 20-25 final prints.
