Reimagining Pandon Dene: Drawing the Past

Dwellbeing Shieldfield has been working with artist Sara Cooper since 2018, initially working with local school children. Most recently, Sara Cooper has been undertaking an art commission with Dwellbeing Shieldfield. She has worked closely with our Shieling Working Group and has researched the history and plant life of the area, particularly around Napier Street. She thought about how the area might have been laid out in the past with its dene, woodland, river and pasture and, later on, as a place famous for its gardens and orchards. Sara undertook many types of drawing activity with residents young and old. This booklet shows a selection of these drawings by residents and the Shieling Working Group.
