Towns | Town Life | Buildings
Richard’s memory for architectural detail was extraordinary and many pictures celebrate great buildings but also the people living their lives around them. When he was 17 and the family moved from Bradford to Ilkley he missed the inner city and its busyness at first but soon came to love the quiet of small town or village and how it fitted into the land. Later, the experience of ports and docks excited him again, and the differences associated with this way of life for the inhabitants.
