ALONG THE PIER CONCERTINA BOOK

Along The Pier by Louise Lockhart is the long-awaited follow-up to Up My Street, it’s a long 10-panel concertina that stretches out to over 4.4 feet. On one side are the cheery seaside shops and stalls that glow with fun and color. The reverse is a long panorama of a glorious seaside beach, complete with a pier, lighthouse, and funfair.

Over 2 years in the making, Louise visited her nearest seaside towns around the Yorkshire and Lancashire coastlines, looking out for the treasure that is independently run shops with hand-painted lettering and original features. Louise has always loved the loud and brash colors of these shops, vying for your attention but slightly dog-eared and fading. Tinged with sadness and nostalgia, harking back to a bygone era or maybe just happy childhood memories. The smell of chip vinegar and hot donuts on the air. It's a heady mix that is hard to capture on paper. Louise hopes she has managed to evoke this rich visual imagery to make you feel like you've had a walk along the pier!
