The Last Resort is Martin Parr’s most iconic work, showing early colour photography shot around the seaside town of New Brighton from 1983 to 1985. This 2008 edition of the book (originally published by Promenade Press in 1986) presents the original images alongside a new essay by Gerry Badger, examining how perception of this important piece of photography has changed over the decades since original publication.
