Book 9 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
These pensive black-and-white photographs from the 70s and 80s document the capital’s urban landscape and its people. Sometimes puzzling, often mysterious, Berris Conolly’s images show parts of London that many may never have seen; for others they will be a portal to the past.
Berris Conolly, formerly a commercial photographer, turned to documentary photography in the 70s, at first capturing his neighbourhood in Hackney before a commission took him to Sheffield – where he still lives today.

'Butlin's Holiday Camp', 128pp, cloth spine, 156mm x 196mm. Photography and text by Barry Lewis. With an introduction by the photographer.
Book 8 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
With its ‘glamorous grandmother’ competitions and endless entertainment, Butlin’s in the 80s was the ultimate British package holiday. Barry Lewis’ glorious photographs, taken during a particularly wet summer at Skegness, capture a defiant national spirit at a time when Billy Butlin’s original vision of ‘fun for all the family’ was under threat from cheap foreign travel and the faltering English weather.
Barry Lewis is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker whose work has appeared in many international publications including The Sunday Times and Life magazine. Barry worked at Butlin’s in the 60s after leaving school, returned to the Skegness camp in 1982 on a photography assignment to undertake this project. We published Barry's previous book, Miami Beach 1988-1995, in 2019.

'Hackney Archive: Work and Life 1971-1985', 120pp, cloth spine, 156mm x 196mm. Photography and text by Neil Martinson.
Book 7 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
East London in the 70s was raw and vivid: bombed-out houses, kids playing in the streets, factories abuzz with workers. These images take us on a journey through workshops, street markets and council homes to capture a time and place before technology and gentrification changed local lives forever.
Neil Martinson started taking photographs while still at school in Hackney. It satisfied his sense of curiosity and he hoped it would change the world. He has worked as a freelance photographer and taught photography. He remains curious, is still trying to change the world and spends a lot of time in the mountains.

Book 6 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
Back in the 1970s, when it was still acceptable to talk, kiss and even smoke on the London Underground, Mike Goldwater spent years documenting chance moments of intimacy and humour across this iconic network of tunnels that live beneath the capital.
Mike Goldwater picked up a camera as a boy and has rarely been without one since. His London Underground pictures were his first project. A professional photographer all his life, he was a founder member of Network Photographers and carried out assignments worldwide. He now travels for free on the Underground.

'The East End in Colour 1980-1990', 128pp, cloth spine, 156mm x 196mm. Edited by Chris Dorley-Brown.
Book 5 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
This book is also available in a special book + limited edition print bundle. Click here to see them.
Following our hugely popular The East End in Colour 1960-1980 by David Granick, this new book by a different photographer, Tim Brown, picks up the story in 1980 as East London enters an extraordinary decade of transformation. Focusing on the Docklands and the further reaches of the East End, Tim took these pictures on 35mm film between shifts of driving trains on London Underground's Central Line.
Tim began taking photos in 1980, around the same time that he started a 20-year stint working on London Underground. He was a Central Line train driver for 13 years and lived in East London for over 20 before moving to Essex with his wife and two children. The book features an introduction by Chris Dorley-Brown, editor of the book, and an interview between Chris and Tim.

'Dog Show 1961-1978', 80pp, cloth spine, 156mm x 196mm.
Book 3 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
As featured in the Guardian.
When Shirley Baker began taking photographs at dog shows in the 1960s the hairdos of the owners were more impressive than those of their groomed canines. Not only a fascinating portrait of the phenomenon, Dog Show also captures the tender, amusing and at times obsessive relationship between humans and their dogs.
Shirley Baker (1932–2014) was a British social documentary photographer known for her street photographs of working-class areas of Manchester taken in the 1960s and ’70s. Her acute observation and artistic eye can be seen throughout her work, which has been exhibited in the UK and around the world.
With an introduction by Lucinda Gosling. This book is published in collaboration with Mary Evans Picture Library.
This is the first edition.
