In February 2001, Foot and Mouth Disease arrived in Cumbria. At its
peak Cumbria was the worst affected county in Britain with a
staggering 41 per cent of all cases. For the local community, the
environmental and social consequences were to prove devastating. As
a local resident, leading UK photographer John Darwell found
himself surrounded by the effects of the disease. Over the next
twelve months, he committed himself to recording what was taking
place. Despite government reports to the contrary, the Cumbrian
countryside became largely a 'no-go area', whilst on the farms
thousands of animals were destroyed, their bodies burnt on the now
notorious pyres. The ultimate clean-up of the infected farms led to
extraordinary lengths being taken to eradicate the virus. "Dark
Days" represents, perhaps, the most complete record of this time
and provides a powerful and emotive insight into one of the most
dramatic and destructive periods in British farming history. It is
published in association with Littoral Arts.
