First edition of Coal Town by Mik Critchlow. First impression. Medium format hardback in fine condition. About Mik was certainly one of the tribe. Ashington born and bred, he was a familiar and welcome presence in his hometown. Dedicating his life to documenting his corner of North East England, he created a striking archive of every aspect of community life: galas, whippet racing, shopkeepers and tradespeople at work, bingo, football, children playing, gossip in the hairdressers and everyday life on the streets and in people’s homes.
