Last week I was contacted by a history professor from Swansea University in Wales. With two colleagues, she is preparing an academic article titled 'Art as industrial heritage: de-industrialisation and public sculpture in Britain's steel-making regions, 1976-2020'

She had found one of my images on the Geograph website to which I have so far contributed 18,000 photographs. The image shows a statue of three Sheffield steel workers pouring molten steel into a clay mould. The statue stands outside the Meadowhall shopping centre to the north of the city.

The professor was seeking my permission to use the image in her article and of course I agreed.

This was not the first time I have received such a request and it gives me a nice kick to see my pictures being used elsewhere.

Below, a photo I took of Neil Young  performing at The Echo Arena in Liverpool back in 2019. It was used in an online music website called "Far Out":-

And here's a photo I took in Hunstanton, Norfolk a few years ago. It was used by the BBC News website earlier this year to illustrate a news article about a tragic death at the little seaside town. The body was that of Glenys Shelton aged 69 and a resident of Hunstanton for many years. Apparently her husband's death in 2020 had broken her heart.
