Progress in Pictures (PIP) is a new resource which complements our annual Progress in the Region report and our Progress in the Region Live tool. PIP is a longitudinal study of progress in the region through the medium of photography.

Photographer Steve Morgan visited 150 locations throughout the region. The aim was to capture the economic, social and environmental life of our region. This has meant not just taking pictures of places, but also, for example - the mix of people present, cultural activities, the feel of shops, the condition of housing estates, types of cars on the road, wildlife habitats etc.

The photographs have been mapped to their locations and are free to view and download for non-commercial purposes. The long term goal is that the pictures should map development, and equally non-development, in the region over the next few years.

Use the interactive map or search facility to explore pictures by location.
