About Me
- Brett
- Brett studied photography at Leek Collage, attaining both an ‘A’ level and a ‘Centra’ in Graphic Technology. He then went on to work locally in the photographic industry. He was an active member of Alsager Camera Club finishing his time there as chairman. After tiring of taking photographs to please competition judges, he left the club to concentrate his time on taking images that said more about the subject than the technical skill of the photographer. He won the ‘Britannia Art Award’ for 2005,2006 and 2008. His blog 365 to 42 was also Google Blog of note. His main body of work is divided between landscape and wildlife photography. In his own words he describes his motivation as “Trying to capture the feel of light on a landscape” All images and words © Brett Trafford. Ask before you use.

ReplyDeleteIs it still a mill Brett? What kind was it? Or is it?
ReplyDeletethe mill is most likely still empty, like many still are in Leek, (i live here also) and i have to say i hope the mills live on no matter what they are turned into.

ReplyDeleteThis was a silk mill. The silk industry in Leek was very important and lasted a long time, from about 1672 up until the last mill closed in 1994. Recently the mill has been cleared out by the council so the roof could be fixed. The owners of the mill didn't want to spend money on fixing it so the council did it for them. the owners will be getting a very large bill some time soon. The roof was unsafe as, in high winds the road would have to be closed because the tiles would be flying off. Hope this hepled.
