Framing New Brighton is a documentary that looks at the Wirral seaside town through the eyes of three photographers, Ken Grant, Alex Hurst, and Tom Wood, whose work has captured the town throughout the years. Once famous for its fairground, tower, and bustling holiday crowds, New Brighton has undergone profound social and cultural change, yet it has never lost its unique charm.
Through candid interviews, striking photography, and rich archive footage, the film reveals how each artist approaches their craft, their personal connection to the town, and how their images capture both continuity and transformation. At its heart, Framing New Brighton is about community, creativity, and the power of art to reframe the way we see familiar places.
