Gelatine silver print entitled 'Drummond's Mill, Bradford' by Ian Beesley. Prodiced for the commission `Through the Mill:, The Story of Yorkshire Wool in Photographs'. 1985-1987'.
The beauty and symmetry of these laminated wood arches belies the dangers such materials posed for workplaces where wool grease was everywhere. The bilingual messages in the foreground leaves no doubt in anyone's minds of the fire hazard in textile mills.
