Photography -- David Bilbrough




While looking through some blogs we came across David and his amazing mixed film photography. His work documents the day to day world of the average joe and gives new beauty to the seemingly ugly.


"The Pedestrian Tunnel runs under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow, it was opened in 1951 and are Grade II listed buildings. The building actually consists of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use and one for cyclists. Both tunnels are 900 ft long, and lie 40 ft below the river bed. 
Ive only been once before this visit on a bike and i took the place for granted as im sure many people have. Yes it might be cold damp and smell off piss, but it has atmosphere like no other. The echo of the escalator rumbling and squeaking when your deep in the tunnel is worth a visit in itself."  - written by David Bilbrough.
