Caption
Patterson’s was the last surviving, working, water-driven spade mill in the British Isles. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1991. At the time Jack Crabtree, well-known for documenting the South Wales coal industry, was commissioned by the Trust’s Foundation for Art scheme. This is one of a group of powerful works he created with striking imagery from grim industrial subject matter.
