Moving the River
Musician Hugh Nankivell and writer Tony Liddington worked with local people in summer 2004 to explore the landscape around Gawthorpe Hall in Padiham, using song, poetry and prose. A series of workshops involving young children, older children and older people resulted in an open-air production for members of the public, celebrating the history and environment of the Hall. An audio guide, featuring the songs, poems and prose devised during the project, was subsequently recorded on to CD for people to listen to and relate to the landscape as they explore the Hall and its surroundings.
