Working in Warwick offers a fresh look at street traders’ lives, the role they play in city life and their contribution to the economy. It contains practical examples and aims to inspire other local authorities and planners in their dealings with the informal economy. It is a picture heavy book that hopes to ‘re-imagine’ the informal economy in the minds of the public at large. Assisted by Jillian Nicholson, the book is the first product of this work.

Dennis Gilbert, well known architectural photographer, contributes photos that beautifully capture the spirit of Warwick Junction. The book launch coincided with the launch of an exhibition of Dennis’ photographs.
