Mark Davis

Author, historian and award-winning photographer Mark Davis has earned a reputation as a documentarist with an acute social conscience. His fascination with the lost world of Victorian Britain is evidenced in an array of highly regarded books, most focusing on crime, deprivation and poverty.

His 11th book Necropolis, from Amberley Publishing, presents a photographic history of Undercliffe Cemetery, the vast 19th century graveyard and resting place of some of Bradford’s great and good. It is the latest expedition into the past by an individual whose all-seeing lens continues to put on record these forgotten corners of Victoriana.
