About the Book
Lying in the foothills of the Pennines lies the old cotton mill towns of Lancashire.
In bewteen the terraced housing, remnants of an industry not long gone and the open countryside lies a wealth of history that reaches beyond that of the mill stacks.
Images of Marsden Park explores one of these remnants.
The foresight of the previous owners established the beautifully preserved Old Hall and startling landscaped gardens with its unusual features including the icoshedral sundial and the Wishing Gate.
The once manicure woodlands that have now naturalised provides a valuable habitat for many native species of bird, plant, and the not so obvious world of funghi and invertebrates.
In the Images of Marsden Park, photographer and Park Keeper, Lee Johnson documents Marsden Park as it is today.
The result of three years work can be seen in this colourful and creative collection of work using the latest technology and photographic techniques to bring Marsden Park to life in all its glory.

About the Creator
Lee Johnson
Lancashire, United Kingdom
My interest in photography began at an early age. At around seven years old I was bought a little 110 compact camera with flash cubes to document my summer day trips with my grandparents. As I got older I worked my way through several cameras until I was bought my first SLR as a Christmas present. Being a self confessed nerd I am really in to gadgets and as a result went digital several years ago. First using a combination of scanned silver prints and image editing then going fully digital in 2004. I have a lifetime passion of nature and the outdoors and I am happiest when shooting in the open air.
