Images from our recent events
Location: Sunderland
During the course of the project we have been actively involved in taking photographs of every street in Southwick. We have also been conducting Oral Interview with people about their life and times in Southwick.
We have had a project stand at several events in an effort to appraise people of our work, and to appeal for old photographs of Southwick, to compliment our archives.
