LOCKDOWN LANDSCAPE 21cms x 21cms, 40pps with 36 colour illustrations.
By April 2020 a deadly new virus had spread through cities across the world and was declared a pandemic. It was widely thought that the NHS might collapse under the growing numbers of Covid cases and the nation was placed under ‘Lockdown’ on March 23rd when Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced
“…From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction - you must stay at home…”
Many businesses and 'non-essential' shops were ordered to close including all pubs and restaurants, schools and colleges all shut down and town centres quickly assumed the air of a ghost town.

During this period that the Newport photographer, Ron McCormick ventured out with his camera exploring the near-deserted streets of his South Wales home observing the streets and open spaces, and photographing the curious events and sights that ensued. The resulting collection ‘Lockdown Landscape’ forms a significant record of this historically unnerving time and the new patterns of social behaviour that transpired.
