Steve Starr is inexorably drawn to areas of this local coastline, as well as its estuaries, river banks and canals leading out to sea. Reflecting on appearances & associations, Steve follows a linear exploration from his home in Heswall on the Wirral, and makes his way along the coastline to Llandudno.

“I am sixty-five years old; I feel the seat belt pulling across my chest as I drive a white Skoda hatchback along New Brighton promenade. A child scoots ahead of her family as they make their way along the promenade walkway. Driving past Morrisons hectic supermarket and the fading Adventureland amusements, I make a left turn to park my car as close as possible to Fort Perch Rock. Finding my parking space, I can just see New Brighton lighthouse appearing around the side of the Fort. As a ritual I have observed many times before, I will once more make a photograph of this elegant lighthouse.”
