Paul Hill's first-person account of starting The Photographers' Place in 1976, the first photography workshop in the UK, run out of a property near Ashbourne in the Derbyshire Peak District. Hill drew on the American workshop model, borrowing the format from US institutions at a time when the word 'workshop' wasn't used in British photographic education. Martin Parr, Brian Griffin, and a roster of notable British photographers passed through over its run.
