“People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don’t care what your name is boy
We’ll never turn you away
So I’ll continue to say
Here I always will stay”
Gerry & The Pacemakers, Ferry 'Cross The Mersey, 1965

John-Lloyd Quayle’s photographs taken in and around Merseyside, the Northern metropolitan county renowned for its football, music, night- life and ship yards work against popular misconceptions within the widespread media to portray an honest representation of working-class England.

Born in Birkenhead, Quayle has lived on the Wirral his entire life, and the autonomous documentation of his immediate family, Merseyside landscapes and the people who inhabit them is fuelled by a rediscovered appreciation for his hometown and desire to capture its continual regeneration.
