WHERE

Leigh Spinners or Leigh Mill is a Grade II listed double cotton spinning mill in Bedford, Leigh, England

WHAT

The event features seven models and there are twenty-one places for photographers on the Saturday and Sunday morning and another twenty-one places for photographers in the corresponding afternoons .

The Leigh Spinners Mill is a Grade II Listed Building, putting it in one of the highest categories of protected buildings in the UK. The mill was opened in 1915 after two years of construction and was developed by the Leigh Spinners Company which remains in occupation.

The original design for the site included a second mill that was completed in 1923, after the delays brought by the Great War. The resulting twin mill is almost unique now as a survivor of the last great mill-building generation in this country. A major feature of the mill is the existence of the original steam engine in Number 2 Mill. This is in need of restoration but the repair of the engine house roof, and the removal of asbestos to make the room safe, have been completed and allowed hundreds of visitors already to appreciate the third largest steam engine in England.

Our event will be taking place across the entire fifth floor of the mill and features seven models including Natasha Bella, Retro Rob, Jack Cutler, Damian Senior, Lydia Francis, Kit Williams and David Chu. The event will include some performance modelling and plenty of scope for quality portrait photography.
