PIERDOM : Photographs of Britain's Piers by Simon Roberts

3 Oct 2015-21 Feb 2016

Overview

Can anything sum up British national identity more powerfully than the pleasure pier? Internationally renowned photographer Simon Roberts has completed a three-year quest to document all of Britain’s remaining pleasure piers. Made with a large format 4 x 5” field camera, Simon’s striking tableaux photographs celebrate the personality, architecture and history of each structure and examine the connections between the landscapes and the communities who live and play against the backdrop of these piers.
