Sheffield Photography Walking Workshops, 2021

GLOAM organised a guided walk along Sheffield's canals with opportunities for participants to photograph the exteriors of industrial heritage spaces. The canal basin in Sheffield was the site of many industries in Sheffield as water provided both power for mills and means of for ferrymen to transport goods. Since the decline of Sheffield's industrial pinnacle, many of these buildings lie derelict or have undergone conversion. Led by Jackson & Harrison Swaby to accompany Joe Singlton’s exhibition, MTPA, which documented the buildings, industrial architecture and decline of economic structures, often alongside familiar and obsolescent archival objects.
