Really enjoyed these images from Liverpool photographer Stephen King, featuring photographs taken in Lewis’s Department Store in Liverpool, one of the UK’s oldest and most iconic department stores a building sadly shut down and hidden since the early 1980s.
What a cracking idea, I wish I’d thought of it! The still life images work better for me, some terrific compositions. The project has it’s own website www.lewissfifthfloor.com (though it’s a bit slow to load) and there are quite a few images over on Stephen’s site.

I remember, as a Wirral girl born and bred, it was a big treat to be taken over to Lewis’s on a Saturday for a shopping expedition. I particularly remember the broken biscuit department was a highlight.
Dates: 26th February to 30th August 2010, Lewis’s Fifth Floor: A Department Story at Liverpool’s National Conservation Centre.
