The North in colour

Some of photojournalist John Bulmer's colour photography, as promised. Mostly, again, from his book The North:

Yorkshire, 1965

Halifax, 1965

Mill girls, Elland, Yorkshire, 1965

Manchester, 1976

Manchester 1976

Manchester, 1976

A street in Northern France, 1967

As we see from that last picture, the French can do "grim" too - and with style. No road or pavement surface: a master stroke.

For more of Bulmer's photography outside the UK, see this 2015 BBC piece.
