Fegg Hayes art (March 09)

Artist Rachel Grant with her work at a property in Fegg Hayes (March 09)

Artist Rachel Grant is pictured with a textile canvas loosely-based on a map of Fegg Hayes village, put together using knitted pieces created by local residents at the project drop-in sessions held at Whitfield Valley Community Centre. Rachel turned a property awaiting demolition in East Terrace into a setting for a new art project under the Place, Space and Identity scheme - part funded by RENEW North Staffordshire. This picture was taken in March 2009.

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.

I will be glad to go. It’s not a nice place to live... There’s no community left here any more.
