How the quay got its benches back
What would you like to participate in?
Told by Walking the Quays Cercle
It started with a walking group turning back at the bridge. A resident wrote it down on the platform; neighbours added what they saw; a Cercle walked the route; an assembly marked the spots; a cabinet-maker built the benches; school children watered the planters. At the end of the summer the same group walked all the way to the market and back. This is the outcome record: what was asked, what was answered, what was built, what was learnt.
