In 1986 world famous photographer Martin Parr published his book 'The Last Resort,' a set of photographs taken over three seasons 1983-85 in the Liverpool suburb of New Brighton. 25 years later, photographer and Parr fan, Peter Dench, went on a Bank Holiday pilgrimage to New Brigthon to walk in Parr's footsteps and document what has changed or remained the same in the seaside town.
