Weardale Road

I’m still trying to work out what I’d like to take film based photographs of here in Weardale. I don’t particularly feel drawn to landscapes, but there are a lot of decaying buildings and structures littered across the landscape, and I feel drawn to them. However, most of them are a long way from my house and involve an intentional trip. I found this rusting old wagon halfway up the road from St Johns Chapel to Langdon Beck. I used my motorcycle to get there – I was not alone.

All photographs taken with Pentax MX, SMC 50mm f1.4, on Kodak Ultramax colour 35mm film. Copyright © 2026, Graeme Holdsworth, all rights reserved.
