I chose this local ironmongers because it has a charm and character that I wanted to capture, having been a family-run, 150 year old company.

This is a self-briefed project, inspired by the increasingly unique nature of a traditional family-run and owned shop still in existence after 150 years.
Once a 40-strong workforce, down to a team of five, the company still operated an ethos of good customer service and a thorough understanding of the trade. Banfilelds was regarded as an institution in Brighton.
ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW
The pictures are now a legacy to the staff of the 150 year old family run company, as Banfields sadly closed shortly after we took these portraits.
