EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the essence of Dewsbury, Yorkshire in 2019. The focal point is the magnificent former Machell Bros Limited Mill, a historic landmark that dates back to its establishment in 1856. Once a bustling hub for shoddy and mungo manufacturing, this architectural gem has been thoughtfully converted into modern flats while preserving its rich heritage. The mill stands tall amidst an urban landscape, commanding attention with its grandeur and character. Its red-brick facade tells tales of a bygone era when industry thrived in this vibrant town. Now repurposed as apartments, it offers residents a unique living experience where history seamlessly blends with contemporary design. Adjacent to the mill lies Dewsbury's bustling market square, which adds another layer of charm to this picturesque scene. Vibrant stalls filled with fresh produce and local crafts create a lively atmosphere that draws both locals and visitors alike. Matthew Oakey's expertly captured aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this transformation from industrial powerhouse to residential haven. It serves as a reminder that our built environment can evolve without losing touch with its past. This print not only showcases the beauty of Dewsbury but also pays homage to the visionaries who recognized the potential in repurposing historical structures for future generations' enjoyment.
