A few months ago our friend Nat Wilkins who is a documentary photographer and film maker based in Northeast England, paid us a visit with his large format camera to capture the customers of Idle Torque and the people who live and make a living within this quirky old stable yard.

This is Tom Newton. He is responsible for rebuilding the Stable Yard from a derelict dumping ground in the early 90s to the unique place that so many people enjoy visiting and supporting the independent businesses that inhabit it today.
