In July 2014, the second stage of the 2014 Tour de France passed through Holmfirth and the Holme Valley in West Yorkshire. Over a ten week period leading up to, and including the day of the event, I took several thousand images as part of a project to record the impact of this major sporting event on the small communities of the Holme Valley.

This is a small selection of my favourite images.

A larger selection can be seen by following the link on the BOOKS page of this site where the whole of my book, "Holme Valley's Grand Depart" may be viewed.
