Shadows of the North

Andrew Marland
16 February 2015 to 8 March 2015
£4 (£3 conc)

Shadows of the North is a brief look at the remains of the northern textile industry, exploring both the industrial landscape the mills inhabit, and the crumbling structures themselves.

Although the industry decline started in the 1950s, the increasingly global economy has seen the remaining mills struggle to compete, and with closure and demolition being the ultimate fate, the shape of our urban landscapes is changing.

Andrew Marland has being photographing the industrial landscape of the north for many years, and his website www.theviewfromthenorth.org has been online since 2007. Shadows of the North sees monochrome re-interpretations of 20 of these images, focusing in on the textile mills of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

The afternoon of Saturday 21st February sees live music in the mill from local folk singer Graham Dixon of the popular 'Trouble at' Mill', as well as the acclaimed Robb Johnson.

The entry fee is for a full museum visit.
