Engaging with the locals
Introduction
The photograph on this page of Engaging with the locals by Chris Allen as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

While Ashley Dace and I photograph the largely demolished part of Vine Mills, the third member of our party interrogates the locals walking their dogs. The weather was not at its best and the umbrella was undoubtedly welcome.
