SAVING CANNON MILLS

BRADFORD

What We Did

This grade II listed mill building is at serious risk of becoming entirely derelict. The site is well positioned with good access to road networks and had a very successful Sunday market in the grounds. The proposal seeks to capitalise on the footfall of the markets, by introducing a series of social enterprise operators. Using workshop spaces, disadvantaged participants could create items to sell at the market and on an e-commerce platform. This community approach to entrepreneurial activity is to reinforce the site as a market destination, improve commercial activity and social mobility.
