Photographic acknowledgment

The photographs on the last two posts were taken by Ansgar Allen, my colleague at the School of Education at Sheffield University and a very good friend. Ansgar was on the tour but we don't seem him in the photographs as he was taking them!

My Parson Cross Tour

Well, a strange one this morning, the morning of the tour. The tour sold out very quickly and Art Sheffield set up a reserve list of up to 5 people, if the people who had booked didn't turn up on the day. Seven people had booked.This morning, three people turned up, two of whom were my friends. The other person had been on the reserve list, so five people didn't turn up! I was amazed and very disappointed. The tour went really well and I think the three people enjoyed it. But, what happened?
I prepared a lot for the tour and spent £100 on a mini-bus. I could have taken the three people that came in my car! Bugger!

My upcoming tour of Parson Cross!!!

 

On Saturday the 5th of October I will be running a (subjective) tour of Parson Cross council estate as part of the Art Sheffield 2013 festival. At 10.45 am I will pick up interested people in a mini-bus outside of Site Gallery on Brown Street, Sheffield S1 2BS and take them to Parson Cross. On the way there I'll provide something of an overview of the estate. Once we arrive, we will visit various places where significant things happened to me when I was a teenager there in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Come along and find out something about one adolescent's life on a poor council estate at that time. On the way back to town I will answer any questions.The total time from pick-up to drop off will  be about 2 hours.
This is a one-off tour and places are limited to 7 people so you will need to book early. You can do this at:

Look forward to meeting you on the morning of the 5th!
