Delving into the history of an area you were brought up in can cause you to experience a whirlwind of emotions – from sentimentality to a sense of loss and happiness.
This project is a testament to the deep connection we all have to are home towns and how the streets we all once roamed hold special places in our hearts. Through juxtaposed images viewers are transported though time, showing the deep history of a street that is often over looked and forgotten.
The project centres on ‘Town Street’ found in the inner-city suburb of Armley, a place that I close to my heart.
It aims to explore the collective memories shared by myself and the community.
By highlighting the unique journey of the street using archived images it showcases the evolution of a street, that over the years has faced numerous challenges but still preserves the same values and community spirit.
