For my re-shoot I returned to the same area of Liverpool, the Norris Green estate (Liverpool 11). Whilst there I became very aware of the fact that all the street signs had been left in place despite the fact that there where no houses on any of these streets and none of them led to anywhere of consequence (other than onto another road with no houses on!) To me this seemed pointless and almost a sad reminder of what was there. So, I decided to instead focus on these road signs (to nowhere). This decision was made partly based on the fact that I felt increasingly uncomfortable taking photographs in the more affluent area of West Derby (which was my comparison for the social divide/difference with the Norris Green estate). The area is well known for having drug dealers living there and I felt that my photography could be misconstrued as surveillance!
Below are the images from this shoot.
