A year after rioters targeted the town’s only Muslim prayer space, worshippers are optimistic but wary of the threat from the far right.

I spent some time with Imam Ibrahim Hussein photographed for @onlinehyphen as members of Southport’s Muslim community look back on a year on from the UK’s worst racially motivated rioting in decades.
