Like You’ve Never Been Away – Images By Paul Trevor – Look11 Photography Festival
Paul Trevor’s street photographs of Liverpool were taken in 1975 as part of Survival Programmes, a project which looked at inner city deprivation. The collection of fascinating images, which portray a community defiant and in high spirits despite a backdrop of unemployment and poverty, are on show during Liverpool’s first-ever international photography festival Look11.
