Built in an area of server socio-economical depression, this complex has completely transformed the region. The old pit that it was built on has long gone and the stacks have been replaced with retail units.
I know very little else about this area apart from the above. The area I have chosen as my Square Mile is the train station that feeds this massive living thing with people. People who come to shop, go ten pin bowling or work. This unremarkable area is key to the area but does nothing to leave any impression on the people who depend on it.

I wanted to find a subject that would allow me to present a set of images that walked you into the subject
So i took the image above and over laid a grid to explore the image in more detail. Would it be possible to find an image from each grid square? So off I went with my printed image and came up with the following brief;
1. take an image from each square if possible 2. create a set that would "walk" the viewer in then out the other side.
That was it, my simple brief. Following it give me the set of images below.
