@phillipaklaiber here with the final installment of photographs from The Land is Ours for my @photographiqueuk Instagram takeover.

The group were evicted one March morning, in the early hours and without warning. Their homes were bulldozed. Some piled together and set alight. Old trees were torn from the ground to quickly destroy the tree houses.

For a few days they camped in a near by pine plantation and tried to retrieve anything of use or sentiment that had survived the heavy machinery. The community soon separated into smaller groups and most disbanded all together.

@phillipaklaiber here with another set of photographs from my project The Land is Ours. When I met them, two years into their occupation of the land, their period of prosperity had reached a peak and their growth as a sustainable community was stifled by a near constant threat of eviction. I will leave you with a brief quote from one of the original founders of the community. "The reasons I do what I do are a sense of injustice, an inability to compromise on how I spend my time and a drive to maintain hope in the possibility of change for the better...The legal cases in the land registry, the planning office and in the courts were very draining on our resources and now they have all failed. We are fully illegal, we do not own the land, there is an eviction notice against us, our houses, kitchen, communal areas are all illegal, to be there is to be in contempt of court. So in the true sense of the words we are outlaws.”

@phillipaklaiber checking in for day 4 of my @photographiqueuk take over, this time with photographs from the Land is Ours. For 2 years I followed the growth and destruction of a community of eco-farmers squatting on an area of disused scrub land. Their aim was to build a form of sustainable agriculture, to support themselves and provide for the local community. In the early days they reared animals, planted the first seasons of crops and attempted to redesign the social hierarchy of the outside world to be more equal and inclusive.

@phillipaklaiber here posting for day 3 of my @photographiqueuk take over with the final images I'll be sharing of the Free Miners.

Duncan is a vern, a Free Miner in training working with the miners who collect ochre pigments in the mines that were once mined for iron ore. The pigment occurs in four colours, Yellow, orange, red and purple and is used by artists.

Since the local maternity hospital closed, the number of young people eligible to become Free Miners will have dropped considerably. But there are still a few older miners determined to keep their way of life going and continue working beneath the forest.

@phillipaklaiber here for day 2 of my @photographiqueuk instagtam take over with more photos from my Free Miners project.

This is Robin who had his own coal mine and could always be found there. He often worked alone underground, maintaining his tracks and putting in new support timbers.

I joined Robin and the Harding brothers on a chilly winter morning. Before the sun rose the brothers headed underground with their headlamps on, ready for their eyes to adjust to the pitch black that envelopes you a few steps into the entrance. They took a thermos of tea and stayed in the mine for 3 hours, filling the cart with coal.

@phillipaklaiber here sharing work on the @photographiqueuk page this week. I will be posting work from three projects, including a new one on gypsies and travellers that I have started this summer, and telling the stories of the people I photograph with each post.

This is Ray, who was a Free Miner of the Forest of Dean, in South West England. It is a lot like conventional mining, but with one difference that sets it apart. To become a Free Miner you must be born within the ancient boundary of this forest and work for atleast a year and a day with a qualified miner. When he deems you fit, you can register as a Free Miner and open your own mine of coal or iron ore.

Today there are still a handful of small mines, worked by a few men, that fluctuate in productivity. .
