Len Grant
I am a freelance photographer and writer based in Manchester.
I photograph... I produce books... I write... I curate... and I teach and give talks.
For a couple of decades now urban regeneration has been a major theme of my work. I have documented the construction of many of Manchester’s landmark buildings and followed some of the significant regeneration programmes in the city.
Many of the 20-odd books I have produced are about urban renewal but other subjects include a charity’s work with young people from disadvantaged communities; a centenary celebration book for a multinational; and a collaboration with a local poet.
LATEST NEWS:
My latest book, 100 Years in the Making, is now out. Produced as part of Cargill Manchester’s centenary celebrations, it charts the history of one of Trafford Park’s oldest companies.
My commissions to document the construction of the Co-operative’s new head office and the Trafford Town Hall refurbishment and rebuild are well underway. More on these pages over the coming months.
I’ve also started a new personal project. It’s called Her First Year and is about a young mum from Moss Side.
