Confluence in Time – Rachel Morrell and Walter Lewis

About

Confluences in Time brings together painter and textile artist Rachel Morrell and photographer Walter Lewis to explore the transformation of the Leeds Canal Basin from its 19th-century industrial roots to its present role as a modern hub for media, finance, law, and IT. Once a key waterway linking the Mersey to the Humber and driving prosperity in West Yorkshire, the Basin later saw the rise of the railway and the decline of canal trade. Today, it stands as a symbol of renewal—a dynamic meeting point of history and progress. Reflecting this evolution, Morrell and Lewis highlight the Basin's enduring role as a place of connection, where the bustle of barge workers has given way to the flow of digital-age professionals and visitors alike.
