River Tales Phase 1

Phase 1, the feasibility study, assessed the possibilities for a reminiscence project. The focus was placed on aspects of the four rivers of the county, the tales told through the eyes of those who have lived and worked along them. Interviews with older residents were recorded on videotape and edited, along with support material such as old photographs and extra footage. The project worked closely with schools to assess the links with the national curriculum, and wanted to involve pupils directly in the design of materials.
