Ahead of World Photography Day, Lancashire house builders Barratt and David Wilson Homes have announced the winner of their photography competition.
Leyland residents were invited to showcase their photos of the town’s best features for a chance to see their photography on display in the show homes at Centurion Village developments on Longmeanygate.
Lauren Hall, 29, snapped up first place in the competition. Her beautiful photo captured Autumn blending into Winter at Worden Park with snow on the ground and crimson leaves falling to the floor.

The budding photographer received a new camera backpack, a replacement battery and lens filters for winning the competition. Better still, her photo is now on display in the Centurion Village show homes for new residents to enjoy the beauty of Leyland.
Lauren said: “I came across the competition online and thought it was a great idea. You don’t often see competitions based in Leyland, so it was nice to be able to show my town. It’s really exciting Barratt and David Wilson Homes chose my image of our local park to be on display, and I’m very happy with my new camera bag and other items.”
Gavin Powell, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes NorthWest, said: “Congratulations to Lauren for her excellent picture of Worden Park, one of Leyland’s greatest assets. We’re proud to have the photo on display and hope it encourages potential residents to consider Leyland as the best destination for their new home.”
Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ photography competition was designed to encourage existing residents of Leyland to showcase the most enjoyed amenities in the town, for the benefit of new residents.
Alan Watt, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “We received some wonderful entries to our photography competition, and each one highlighted the many benefits of Leyland. We’d like to congratulate Lauren on her win, as it was a fantastic photo that captured two seasons in one shot.”
