Description
In 1975, Daniel Meadows embarked on a two-year post as photographer-in-residence to the Borough of Pendle in Lancashire, where he was drawn to photographing Bancroft Shed, the last remaining steam-powered cotton-weaving mill in the district. Against a backdrop of industrial decline, Daniel documented the life of the mill, creating a remarkable portrait of the people who worked there and their disappearing trades.
Shuttles, Steam and Soot was first exhibited in 1978 as part of the Half Moon Photography Workshop’s radical programme of affordable, portable touring shows. Sent from galleries to community centres, from the Shetland Islands to Germany, the exhibition was eventually lost.
Fifty years on, Daniel has worked with Four Corners to recreate the original touring exhibition and this publication is designed to accompany that show on its travels.
Four Corners centre for film and photography, Bethnal Green, London, provides a learning, production and exhibition space where filmmakers, photographers, artists, trainees and local people can work together.
