This decision to remove himself, to be a slightly aloof witness, is evident in The Last Resort, a portrait of day-trippers from Liverpool in the run-down Merseyside seaside town of New Brighton, which appeared in 1986 to a storm of abuse and criticism.
Parr had ditched his 35mm for a medium-format camera and was now working exclusively with colour film, inspired by the work of William Eggleston, and the new fashion for medium- and large-format documentary which friends such as Chris Killip and Graham Smith were using to great effect.
In retrospect, the New Brighton images are mostly quite gentle and humorous, although they are undercut by Parr's subtle focus on human vulnerability in public situations - babies having their nappies changed, children with ice cream running on to their clothes, families scoffing chips next to overflowing litter bins.

During the early nineteenth century, the Prince Regent popularised Brighton, on the south coast of England, as a fashionable alternative to the wealthy spa towns such as Bath.
In contrast, the fortunes of Brighton, which has neither holiday camps nor end-of-the-pier shows, have grown considerably, and, because of this, the resort is repeatedly held up as the model of a modern resort.
However, unlike the Golden Miles of other British resorts, the sea is not Brighton's primary attraction: rather it is a backdrop against which is set an attitude of broad-minded cosmopolitan hedonism.

As it was 2001, I thought it was time to give my '60s prints a new lease on life, so I took up an offer from Curwen Press (who work with the Royal Academy) to be the first photographer to try out a brand new lithographic, continuous-tone printing process, which they had invented.
I like the out-of-focus chain right across the middle of the image, and in the background is not only a "Ferry Cross the Mersey" (when smoke was allowed to pollute Merseyside!) but in the very distance is the enormous outline of the Tower Ballroom in New Brighton.

Mostly, of course, they would be wrong, would simply be guilty of producing retro-TV and magazine articles where the same old faces and artefacts are dragged into the light to cement some sort of false collective memory.
Parr seems however, through his own work and his obsessive collecting and collation of other visual sources, to be determined to document a different Modern Britain to that popularised by retro-TV; his is a Britain that many would prefer to pretend didn't, and doesn't exist.
I can't help but see a real sense of wishing in many of Parr's photographs; a desire to see real hope and worth in, for example, the garish, run-down, litter-strewn world of New Brighton, but in fact seeing only desolation, sadness, vulgarity, a spiral of poverty and filth.
