Lynnes Locality Log Part 1


Inspired by Di Goldsmiths records of her walk in London, Lynne logged her walk with us with photos and word responses with wonderful results...

Georgina Chatfield made us really think about the positive and negative in the city we all know. We were tied with someone else and given love hearts and mint sweets to eat as we discuss the two sides.

Gladstone Street

Chris Porsz showed us the differences the street has gone through by showing us his 30 year old pictures and pointing out the locations on the walk. We even met one of the characters in a photograph 30 years later. We even tried to reimagine a picture of some children running (above).

Sam McLean responded to the Cathedral and Peterboroughs city centre by looking back on working with the people of the city and an excercise that makes us not think about it, but just to do it. He said: Draw the first thing that comes to you when you think Peterborough, dont think about it, just draw!
