Portrait of Plymouth

The city of Plymouth, once England's greatest naval seaport, has forever been subject to change, not least in the past few years with new vistas opening up, new buildings emerging on the skyline and whole areas of redevelopment underway. The Drake Circus shopping precinct has completely changed the centre of the city while much of the old place still survives, if you know where to look.

Fortunately, being a local man, Lee Pengelly is ideally suited to create a photographic portrait of the city he knows so well. Here he includes familiar places such as the seafront and city centre, but also many hidden gems both in the city and on the outskirts too. Portrait of Plymouth contains a fascinating mix of buildings, landscapes, people and nature all combining to portray Plymouth today.
