It was the early 1960s when documentarian and Sunday Times photographer John Bulmer set out to chronicle life in the then grey and bleak Black Country. Inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson's ethic of understanding life through photography, John captured Dudley and the lifeblood of the region with all its unflinching beauty.

30 years on from his first visit Photographer Rob Clayton has returned to the estate that gave him inspiration as a student. The non-descript Black Country high-rise flats could have been anywhere but it was Oldbury that Clayton happened upon in 1990 and it is here that he has returned to revisit its residents.
