Kirkbyography - A picture of Kirkby

The story of Kirkby told through the photographs of John Wakefield, memories of residents, images from Prescot Museum's collection and footage from the collection of ARK at Knowsley Archives. Interviewees travelled around Kirkby in a taxi to visit sites of importance to them and have a chat along the way. This film by Graeme Lycett was commissioned to accompany Kirkbyography, an exhibition of photographs of Kirkby taken in the 80s and 90s by local photographer John Wakefield, shown alongside images from Prescot Museum's collection, mostly dating from the 60s. Kirkbyography is on display at Kirkby Gallery until 14 October 2023. Kirkby Gallery is free to visit. Open Monday-Friday 10am-5pm (last entry 4.30pm) and Saturday 10am-1pm (last entry 12.30pm).
