H L Oakley

Each year, between 1920 and 1958, holidaymakers walking along the pier at Llandudno on the coast of North Wales, could have stopped at a booth to have their silhouette portrait cut by Mr H. L. Oakley, otherwise known as the man with the magic scissors. He served as a Captain in the 8th Yorkshire Regiment during the First World War and after the war, he returned full-time to silhouette art dividing his time between portraiture, magazine and commercial work.

The On Call in Africa Collection

A unique set of images from the fascinating collection of Dr N.P. Jewell, documenting his time as a young doctor in the Seychelles (1910-14), as a Medical Officer in the army in East Africa during the First World War, and in Kenya working in the Colonial Medical Service (1920-32). The photographs are featured in a recently-published book On Call in Africa, in War and Peace, 1910-1932, a remarkable account based on Dr Jewell's official medical diaries and personal memoirs, and include some terrific scenes of life in wartime Kenya and Tanzania. There's more about the book and Norman Jewell himself at www.oncallinafrica.com

Martin O'Neill

Martin O'Neill began taking photographs at the age of just 15, wandering his hometown streets in Eccles, Salford and Manchester from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. His archive of documentary and reportage photographs capture the people and places of the north west with a local's empathy and a wry sense of humour borne out of familiarity.
