Immersive 'sound walk' experience coming to Grantham high street

Local News by The Editor 26th Aug 2021  

A new immersive sound walk for Grantham by SandraKazlauskaite will help people discover the magic of the town's high street next month.

Historic England has been working with the National Trust and Sound UK to bring hidden histories and stories to life across six High Street Heritage Action Zones.

Grantham High Street Sound Walk is part of a series of self-guided, immersive sound walks to take listeners on a journey of discovery.

SandraKazlauskaite's sound walk guides listeners through St Peter's Hill and Westgate to unearth fascinating hidden histories and discover their transformation over time.

During the Heritage Open Days from September 10 to September 19, listeners can walk the route, supported by an illustrated map, at their own pace.

The audioincorporates a collage of aural histories, archives and local residents' memories to tell a story about the histories of the high street. It explores how Grantham's high street - a space of socialising and cultural exchange - has transformed over time, and questions what has been forgotten during the process of change.

Ellen Harrison, Head of Creative Programmes and Campaigns, Historic England, said: "We hope our High Street Sound Walks will enable people to slow down, pause and reflect, and to experience their familiar environment in a new way.

"The audio walk aims to connect listeners with the people and places, past and present, that have made their local high street what it is today, transforming the everyday into something enlightening and new."

SandraKazlauskaite, artist and researcher, said: "Through conversations with local residents and historical research, the walk will aim to amplify the hidden, buried, the wonderful and the imagined - the local historical heritage that has and continues to serve as a (silent) symphony accompanying the sounds of the present."
