A visual chronicle of nostalgia and grit on the Fylde coast, Where The Magic Was documents the fading yet enduring charm of the seaside resort of Blackpool. It is a place once alive with wonder and now clinging to memory, though it retains its lofty ambitions. Through candid street images and fleeting moments, the series explores what is left behind when the crowds thin, the lights dim and the illusion wears off. But it also captures the flickers of pride and the ongoing efforts - by locals, traders and dreamers alike - to breathe new life into these Victorian streets. This is Britain's playground - weathered and worn but not yet done.
"May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst the crash of the world"
