Chris Killip - Seacoal

SPECIAL EXHIBITION PRICE £32.00 (RRP £38.00)

In 1983, after seven years of trying, Chris Killip was able to camp on the Seacoal site on the beach at Lynemouth in the north east and document the lives and experiences of the seacoal mining community that lived and worked there.

This book is the first time all 124 images have been displayed together and show an unflinching but moving series of the harsh conditions and extraordinary way of life the men and their families lived through from a photographer sensitive to his subject and respectful of environment.
