If you are in Newcastle between the 11 June and the 30 August, then head to The Biscuit Factory Art Gallery to take a look at the work of Roger Clegg, the photographer behind the stunning collection of images in the Cicerone book The Spirit of Hadrian’s Wall.

Roger is an award-winning photographer, who lives in Hexham, just 20 minutes from the place that has become his abiding passion – Hadrian’s Wall. Roger embraced photography professionally after a career in business and then as a lecturer. He has captured the contrasting moods and timeless scenes of Hadrian’s Wall from coast to coast, and is responsible, amongst many achievements, for the iconic scenes on the side of Northern Rail trains; the pictures used for marketing Hadrian’s Wall and the British Museum’s Hadrian exhibition in 2008, and of course the book The Spirit of Hadrian’s Wall.

Roger’s picture of Sycamore Gap at midsummer with walkers won the Northumberland National Park prize in the Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards 2009.
