Peter Walker Exhibits at Gallery Oldham

Primrose Bank – Past, Present and Future
Gallery Oldham
Exhibition fro 15th May to 6th June

Peter Walker completed an MA in photography in 2008 at Bolton University and has further developed a keen interest in social documentary photography

In 2009 Peter was jointly commissioned by Oldham Council’s ‘Gateways to Oldham’ team and the Housing Market Renewal pathfinder project to create a photographic record of the environment, history and community of the Primrose Bank estate.

Working with residents and community groups, Peter has created images that bear witness to the cultural and social diversity of a changing community.

The photographs taken over the course of a year portray the changing face of the estate and the changing community - from a stark 1960s concrete council housing estate, towards a twenty first century place to live. Peter has recorded surprising images that are both beautiful and powerful, and these are complimented by a vision of the latest proposals to regenerate the estate.
