A CRITICALLY acclaimed exhibition of pictures by social photographer and University of Bolton lecturer Ian Beesley is touring the country.
Ian worked with writer, broadcaster and poet Ian MacMillan on The Drift which first went on show at the National Coal Mining Museum in 2011 and is currently on show at the Leeds Industrial Museum.
The collection is about the Hay Royds Colliery mine, then one of the Yorkshire coalfields' last working mines.
Ian said: “Now the mine has closed I hope The Drift can be a lasting testament to an industry that has all but died in the UK.”
The exhibition at the Leeds Industrial Museum is on until Sunday, 30 March 2014.
