Photographing the business owners and shopkeepers of Littleborough.

A Portrait of Littleborough is a photographic series capturing the business owners and employees working in Littleborough.

We commissioned photographer Richard Tymon and placemaking consultant Esther Morrison to take these photos while interviewing local business owners about their ideas and aspirations for the area.
