Dialogue Ignites Change

This brief involved talking to someone with dementia and finding out what memories they had of Stockport and its heritage sites, and illustrate the memory.

I spoke to a man named George, he knew very little about Stockport or its heritage sites as he grew up near Blackpool and only moved up to Stockport to be near his family, he told me lots of great stories about his time in Blackpool and where he was born, the only heritage site he had visited in Stockport was the market place, all George mentioned was that it was a very long time ago and that he remembered it being very busy.

I used this as my starting point and looked at some books on stockports history in the library and collected old images of Stockport's Markets.
