Word On The Street!





As the project nears completion you may have noticed a distinct lack of entries on here - which of course reflects the hard work and effort going into the work! Here's a sneak peak snapshot of the High Street timelines and model, which will be on display at the Minories art gallery in Colchester from 4th Dec and (pending confirmation) in Southend High street itself in January, so do come along to look at and listen to the finished life-sized work!

  2. Hi Dee,

    Yes, infact there's a finished version in the library you can scribble all over - showing some of the shops such as Suzi Wigs! Please do go see them - on the first floor next to the local studies section ands feel free to fill in the gaps with any shops you can recall, that would be great!
