Where Three Dreams Cross

John Bulmer was a pioneer of colour photography and his work was included in the very first colour supplement launched by the Sunday Times. John documented everyday life in the industrial centres of ‘The North’ with images of miners, cobbles, canals, women and washing. Many previous photographers had only snapped in black and white which reinforced the stereotypical view of ‘Grim Up North’.
