A1
"Photographer Paul Graham spent two years completing this documentary on the life and landscape of the Great North Road. Throughout 1981 and 1982 he made numerous trips along the A1, crossing and re-crossing the length of the nation to record every aspect of life at the verge of this great road.

The Drift
This new exhibition combines photography and poetry to explore mining in the twenty-first century at Hay Royds Colliery. Over a century after opening, Hay Royds is now one of the last working pits in the Yorkshire Coalfield. The small workforce continues to mine despite having to overcome many obstacles.Ian Beesley's striking photographs are complemented by poetry written especially for the exhibition, by writer and broadcaster Ian McMillan. Their words and images combine to reveal the process of mining, the physicality of the work and the relationship of the underground to the surface. A book reflecting on the mine and men is due to be launched at the exhibition symposium in March. Entitled 'The Drift', the book will include both Ian Beesley's intense images and Ian McMillan's evocative poetry.
