The Meridian Project, entitled “A Line Runs Through It” can be seen here…

“A LINE RUNS THROUGH IT”

The project documents a photographic journey down the 0deg Meridian Line as it passes through Lincolnshire, after originating at the North Pole the first land it reaches is in Holderness.
Captured over many days spread over 6 months, the photographer travelled the length of the 0deg Meridian as it passes through Lincolnshire, a distance of just over 70 miles.

Images of the people and places were made along the line from landfall in the Holderness area just above the Humber Estuary, crossing the Humber into the North East Coastal plain, then cutting through Louth, an ancient market town where there is a marker on shop fronts in the high Street, onwards up high into the Lincolnshire Wolds through farmland where the line passes close to ancient burial mounds, then down into the rich farmland in the Southern Fenland of Lincolnshire before crossing the border into Cambridgeshire and onwards to Greenwich, before exiting the UK mainland on the South coast.

Restricting itself just to Lincolnshire, this project did not continue out into Cambridgeshire at the Southernmost extreme of the Lincolnshire section of the Meridian Line. To read more about the Meridian see here.
