His interest in local history has given a focus for his photography and several projects have enabled him to photograph the Borough at its best. These have included pictures for the Borough in Bloom competitions, calendars, post cards and numerous illustrations for Heritage centres in the area.
His work has been exhibited in Nuneaton Museum and in an exchange with Cottbus in Germany. Some of his local history books make use of his own material, some recent, some old.
