Lizzy spent the day in the Picture Palace, number 6 Wood Street Indoor Market for the launch of the new shops filling the empty market units. We had set up an OHP and a little screen for visitors to make shadowy pictures. We were thinking about the cinema in Wood Street where the screen was in the middle, and visitors could pay a bit less to go round the back. It was free on both sides today! We also projected some of our previous projects and some lovely clips of archive footage of Wood Street film studios and the Wood Street walk provided by WACC. We wanted to find out all we could about the cinemas and film studios that used to be in Wood Street, and we now have a few places and people that we can contact to find out more. We were quite overwhelmed by the warmth and curiosity of visitors to the market. With Ashley's help, we gave out 150 of our special leaflets, that's alot of folding! We hope that some of the visitors we met today will pop back in again. Lizzy will be in number 6 on Monday, see you there!
This programme of public projects seeks to enhance the character of Wood Street, Walthamstow: restoring heritage buildings, providing new planting, signage, street furniture and shop frontages, and commissioning a number of art projects connecting and animating diverse spaces and communities. The programme is supported by London Borough of Waltham Forest and the Mayor's Outer London Fund, which is helping increase the vibrancy and growth of high street places across London.
