Mills Transformed is a project and book documenting textile mill buildings which have been restored and repurposed. Neil Horsley has interviewed and photographed the people who have renovated and brought new life to over 30 previously disused mills across the north of England.
Neil will describe –
Millscapes – the role of mills in placemaking and shaping northern landscapes.
Mill opportunities- the potential opportunities created by vacant and derelict mills.
Mill renovators – the people who have, often against all odds, brought new life to derelict mills together with examples of renovation projects.
Mill futures- how can further mills be regenerated and reborn?
The presentation will feature a selection of images from the accompanying book.
‘Mills Transformed’ book published by John Hudson Publishing, London. The
book has recently won the Association for Industrial Archaeology’s Peter
Neaverson ‘Award for ‘Outstanding Scholarship’. Copies of the book, priced at
£30 (credit card or cash), will be available on the night.
