#377 PHOTOWALK: CHASING CHILDHOOD
A special photowalk made in the northeast of England with Extra Miler, writer and photographer, Paul Hutson. We start in York, chasing and finding ghosts, walk the wall and Shambles, discover a highwayman and take supper with Guy Fawkes. Street photographer Dan Baker joins us to make a seaside walk in Cleethorpes and the philosophical photographer and YouTuber Sean Tucker shares some plans for life and projects. In Grimsby, we visit the docks of this historic fishing mecca and set to sea in a 50s trawler to learn what life was like in peacetime's most dangerous occupation.
