Engaging with St Helena (as it was in 1988)

St Helena map book, 1/3/23

This place is taking up the majority of my thinking energy at the moment and will continue to do so for some time to come. These maps of how things were in 1988 are not going to play a major part in my cogitations and analysis — particularly not number 7, at the bottom of this spread — but it’s all a useful insight into how things once were: this is why we need records, and archives to store them in.

And yes, I know I have hairy arms and hands. It’s always been the case. This is the first self-portrait since October.

Bod bar, Stoke station

Bod bar, Stoke, 28/2/23

And so ends February 2023, a varied month for me, some very interesting periods and some deadly dull ones. Photographically, it ends in a pub on Stoke-on-Trent station, mainly for lighting reasons. Though the beer was quite good too.
