The Battle Of Barton Moss

In November 2013 a group of environmental activists set up camp at Barton Moss, Salford to protest against exploratory drilling at IGas’s proposed hydraulic fracturing (fracking) well. The protest lasted until April 2014 when the company stopped drilling. Photographer Steven Speed spent three to four days a week for the duration of the protest documenting the people, the camp, the policing and the daily protest walks. This exhibition looks at the community that grew through the protests, how it was policed, the impact the protest had and the methods it used in achieving its successes.
