My final assignment for the 'Within Walking Distance' project is to shoot the Heritage Walk, visiting a number of famous Langley landmarks. They're all included in the interactive mobile app-map produced specifically for the project.
We visit Uncle Ben's Bridge, pass by the Langley gin factory, see the former practice rooms for the Langley Brass Band and end up by the village sign-post. I wonder which way we should follow .. past, present or future?!
It's been a real delight to have been involved in the project and I do hope you've enjoyed looking at the photos.
Another highlight of the 'Within Walking Distance' project is the Poetry Workshop run by the fabulous Emma Purshouse.
Wolverhampton born Emma is a hugely gifted performance poet, comedienne and author. She's also a highly talented teacher, as I experience first hand during her Workshop. Photos taken, I put down my camera, join in and compose a mawkish haiku about my recent visit to the community centre in Langley Park.
Here it is in all its perfunctory glory ...
iron gates shutter
the sun lit grey haired smiles
parked memories
Passing on quickly, I thoroughly recommend a listen to this poem written by Emma to celebrate the WWD project.
