Sedgefield was the constituency of Tony Blair during his time as prime minister. The homes are luxurious bordering on decadent and it is surrounded by rural farmland. It neighbours Stockton-Riverside, one of the poorest areas in the UK. Stockton's town centre is overlooked by factories now long since abandoned. One day I got lost between the two of them. It was a foggy day and the supermarkets and housing estates all looked the same.  A strange suburbia, caught in between the city and the country.

Stockton was a brexit stronghold in the 2016 EU referendum.
