Kersal Boom – 2014

The LKYPG have been busy this year, and one of the more exciting projects that we have been running has  been t he Kersal boom heritage project.

This project has one goal, to get the local Young People interested and more knowledgeable about the local area they live in, and to do this, we decided to create a magazine, which will chronicle the 12 sets of flats, that sat at the end of Littleton road, dominating the skyline for 4 decades.

When the flats were in full swing, the community, being a very close knit society in those days, did everything together, and we want to showcase how lives have changed since their inception in the 50’s, right through to their demolition, in the 90’s.

We are working closely with artist Beth Barlow, and Jaqui Carol, to hopefully produce a magazine that will be loved by young and old alike.

We have ran a few sessions so far, and included now are a selection of photographs, showing off the variety of those involved, as well as the number of different activities we have done.
