‘Two Found Shoes’ – John Lewis Car Park – Highcross, Leicester – Paul Conneally 2013

“On my way home I saw something even more shameful: a pair of men’s shoes abandoned in the gutter. They were not even particularly worn, evidence of exasperation rather than poverty. Their owner must have gone home defiantly in stocking feet. One sees such sights in the city, particularly in the growing dusk, yet one never learns the story behind them. . .”. (Undue Influence – Anita Brookner 1999, p. 63)
