The Photographers Gallery

THE PHOTOGRAPHERS GALLERY

"The Photographers' Gallery is the largest public gallery in London dedicated to photography. From the latest emerging talent, to historical archives and established artists – we are the place to see photography in all its forms." - http://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/exhibitions-6

The Photographers Gallery held an exhibition called 'Deed Not Words' by Mark Neville, this exhibition is an experimental documentary that Mark Neville photographed the town of Corby in Northhamptonshire for eighteen months. He recorded its people, its culture and the effects of pollution that led to several babies being born with serious birth defects.

The photographs present the community as a whole, not simply the families at the centre of the case. They show the Scottish identity in the English town, even amongst third and fourth generation families, young women at nightclubs, entrants in a beauty contest, children dressed for the town’s Highland Games.
