These photographs were originally shot for Plastic Rhino magazine and it's 'Keepin' It Rhyl' issue which was a guided walking tour of North Wales' finest resort. The issue of the magazine was originally to be called Twin Towns and was going to be split between Berlin and Rhyl. However, somebody (Tony Crean) came up with the title 'Keepin' It Rhyl' and not being able to decide something as good as that for Berlin, we decided to run with Rhyl throughout the whole magazine. Since then I've been back at different times to photograph the crazy golf course for my 'Rocketships & Windmills' book and to use the place as a backdrop on fashion and bands shoots.
The latest news is that Rhyl's notorious West End is due to be regenerated so I'm about to start going back to continue with these photographs and maybe even produce a book at some point in the future.
Thanks

As I'm now working on the Popcultured website, I'm actually getting to see the full 800 images one by one and I keep seeing photographs I haven't come across. This is one of Peter Carr's images and features local artist Eleanor Hawkridge out for a walk on Bold Street.
