Billingsgate Fish Market - dwarfed by the ever growing London skyline. March 2004.

The website is intended to provide an interesting site for all who wish to view it, and to provide a forum for discussion on the nature and purpose of art in fishing communities.

A more recent development of this project involves interviewing the women in fishing communities (and a few men,too!). Some material can be found under the topic 'Women's Stories' on this site. If you would like to help either by interviewing, transcribing inverviews or in any other way (we can provide training), do contact the project director, Stephen Friend, or our Research Assistant, Suzanne Parkes (s.parkes@yorksj.ac.uk) or write to Suzanne at: The Faculty of Education and Theology, York St John University, Lord Mayor's Walk, York, YO31 7EX. We currently have an exhibition visiting Hull, Filey, Scarborough and Whitby (see under 'Women's Stories' for full details). If, after looking at this website, you think you may be able to contribute material that could be included please email the editor, Stephen Friend with details.

Grimsby Dock Tower April 2004

Given the large amount of material now becoming available from countries other than Britain, we have begun to include this material here. For example, Under "Sculpture" there is some fascinating material from Australia.

The two pictures here illustrate important and (in their day) imposing architectural symbols at Grimsby and Billingsgate.

All pictures are by Stephen Friend unless otherwise indicated.
