His books include Wish You Were Here, a survey of the British beside the seaside and A Walk in the Park, a history of public parks, acclaimed by William Boyd as ‘a fascinating, informative, revelatory book’. His liner notes can be found on the rear sleeve of 2012’s ‘Words and Music by Saint Etienne‘. With Bob Stanley from Saint Etienne, he also co-wrote the script for How We Used to Live, a BFI archive film directed by Paul Kelly, and premiered at the London Film Festival..
