'Bingo & Burial'

 

Stephen McCoy of Liverpool Photographers 'McCoy Wynne' has kindly given 'My Liverpool' permission to showcase this fine exhibition of their work titled 'Bingo & Burial' which was recently exhibited in Liverpool.

McCoy Wynne have reproduced, as closely as possible, the original compositions which were captured in the eighties. The images underline the layering of history taking place within the city. Recent city centre developments have made noticeable change, caused by the speed of construction, but structural change is a constant condition of the urban resident.

 In the early 1980's many of the sign-posts of Atlantic trade that built Liverpool: Tate & Lyle, grain silos, dockyard cranes, and warehousing, had been demolished, either removed or relocated. What followed was open space, vegetation, trees, shopping complexes and housing.The new images in this project are not about the obvious city centre redevelopment, but about the waves of change indicated by the passage of time that have effected the environment of Liverpool residents on the fringes of the city centre.
