100 Faces of Brierley Hill - Mecca

Local people of all ages who live, shop and work in Brierley Hill have taken part in a new project called ‘100 Faces of Brierley Hill’. Throughout the summer of 2023, a team of creatives popped up in various spots along Brierley Hill High Street, aiming to capture a modern depiction of the town’s residents and gather personal stories of their relationship to the town. Led by creative producer Becky Thompson, along with photographer Kelly Hadley and filmmaker Paul Stringer, the team have been conducting portrait sessions and creating an archive that delves into why Brierley Hill holds a unique place in people’s affections.   A total of 100 individuals, alongside a handful of pets, have been immortalised through the portrait sessions which took place along Brierley Hill High Street, at Mecca Bingo, the Market Hall and St Michael’s Church. #BrierleyHill #BrierleyHillMarket #HistoricEngland #Heritage #Portraits #ModernBritain #100FacesofBrierleyHill
