How Brexit Failed England’s Premier Fishing Town

Grimsby, blaming the EU for decades of decline, voted overwhelmingly to leave. It hasn’t helped—and may have made matters worse.

IN THE ENGLISH PORT town of Grimsby, Andrew Kay inspects rows of glistening lemon sole and haddock. At 7 a.m., Kay nods his head, buying 1,800 pounds of fish in the auction, which is held each weekday at a warehouse deep in the docks.

AFRICA ’24 Expedition, The Gambia, West Africa

PhotoWalk Podcast

AFRICA ’24 is an expedition we are leading to The Gambia in January next year, and one of our documentary challenges over the ten days we’re there will be to show the ‘grass roots’ level game that brings people together of all ethnicity, when we visit a training session.

Along with wildlife, the food, fishing folk, the festivals, a river expedition, markets and led by award winning photojournalist for part of our time, Jason Florio we’ll be enjoying a multitude of opportunities to make and talk pictures together.

Want to come along? Contact Neale James/Photowalk Podcast for all the details.
