The second digital story we’d like to share is by Fran Edwards, a regular member of our Celebrating Change monthly workshops in 2018. Some of her poetry and prose work has already appeared in earlier blog posts.
You’ll see Fran has used vintage footage of the Cannon Street area of Middlesbrough, captured by filmmaker Derek Smith in 1973. Derek very kindly donated the footage for use in our project, so you will see some of these images interpreted in different ways in blog posts to come!
Celebrating Change 
I love “Graffiti Glen” – I hope he has made his mark somewhere!
I love the way this moves from grey forgotteness and dereliction to colour and action and hope.
