The Rum Story, Whitehaven

I recently had the pleasure of doing a publicity photoshoot at The Rum Story in Whitehaven, a truly unique and informative attraction. Housed in the original 1785 trading premises of the Jefferson family, this museum takes you on a fascinating journey into the captivating history of rum, from its origins in the Caribbean and ties to the transatlantic slave trade, reflecting Whitehaven’s significant historical role. The exhibition thoughtfully explores this often difficult past, alongside tales of pirates, smugglers, and the journey of rum through the ages.

Here are some photos from that shoot.
