Brutal North

Powerful images by acclaimed photographer Simon Phipps exploring the modernist architecture of cities and new towns of the North - from the Sandcastle and Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts in Liverpool, Hadrian Bridge in Newcastle and the Apollo Pavilion in Peterlee to estates such as Park Hill in Sheffield and Edith Avenue in Durham. As with the very successful Brutal London, BRUTAL NORTH is a fresh introduction to buildings the reader may see every day - an invitation to look at things differently. With city and region maps and detailed listings of all the architecture photographed, it also encourages readers to explore more Brutalism across the north of Britain.
