Images of West County Durham by Richard Gaunt
A photo-take of daily life in the 1960s as change hit communities around Durham, Darlington, and the hills of North-East England. Coalmining in particular was in serious decline, but cutbacks were hitting factories and infrastructure like the railways, too. These hauntingly beautiful scenes are sharp reminders as old certainties were swept away.
Richard Gaunt was born in Lancashire and grew up in Darlington. He attended QEGS Darlington and Corpus Christi College Cambridge with a working life covering the steel, construction and chemicals industries as well as local government, and more than twenty years as a director of a research consultancy. Gaunt is an accomplished photographer - his work has appeared in The Guardian, Steam Railway, and in two books of photographs of steam engines from the 1960s. He lives in Cardiff with his wife Elizabeth.
