IoMToday: “More than 300 businesses captured in photographs in ‘10 years on’ project”
Culture Vannin on Facebook:
“Laxey, 10 years on…
A wonderful photography project has unveiled for Laxey and Garff, where every shop or business in the sheading has had their photograph taken in July 2022, following on from the same process in 2012.
The changes – in the people, the places and the community – is fascinating!
This wonderful project is by Chris Littler Webdesign and we are very pleased to have supported it through one of our grants.
Documenting and celebrating community and the changing face of the Island in this sort of innovative and creative way is something we’re enormously pleased to support.
As Chris says on the website, this is a celebratory “recording of social and economic change in local commercial activity, which will be appreciated for generations to come.” Yindyssagh!
