Infinity: Iain McKell

An exhibition of photographs by Iain McKell has been installed along the mile long walk out into the heart of the Thames Estuary along Southend Pier (the world's longest). The exhibition accompanied the Sound of the Thames Delta weekend of discussion with musicians, artists and writers over the weekend of 1 and 2 October, and has now been extended until early 2017. Infinity spans four decades of extraordinary photographs, from the music and street culture of Southend in the late 70's / early 80's of 2Tone, Mods, Skins and Punks; the New Romantic Blitz Kids (then and now); and Rockabillies.

Listen to our interview with Iain McKell that is designed to accompany you on the mile and a third walk along Southend Pier as you view the photographs:
