British documentary photographer Martin Parr (b. 1952) captured scenes from the Yorkshire mill town of Hebden Bridge and surrounding Calderdale, "documenting a traditional way of life that was beginning to decline" in the late 1970s. Together with narrative written by his wife Susie, this book is the result. "The title ... referes to the Methodist and Baptist chapels that characterize this area of Yorkshire and define the self-reliant and independent spirit of its people. In words and pictures, the Parrs document the day-to-day life of mill workers, coal miners, hill farmers, chapel-goers, gamekeepers, henpecked husbands, and pigeon fanciers ... [in] a society that has all but disappeared." (dj). 2013. Aperture Foundation ISBN 1597112453 9781597112451 [US]
