THE FOX

The Fox, Shipley, a free house and microbrewery in my home town. They brew a sense of community as well as beer and spirits. I started to get to know this place by working behind the bar, after I was fired from ASDA for sharing my discount card.

During my first shift the landlord thrust his homemade absinthe in front of me and asked me to try it, from this point on I had a hunch I would enjoy working here. Over the years I have slowly migrated to the other side of the bar, the regulars have become friends and the building has become a home from home.

This ongoing project is aiming to capture the special community held between pub walls. Communicating with people that have different outlooks on life and conflicting opinions, not every conversation will be easy but they will all be fruitful.
