The Memories of Mr. Seel’s was an AHRC Connected Communities\u00a0Pilot Demonstrator Project.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.mrseelsgarden.org<\/a><\/p>\n

The aim of the\u00a0Memories of Mr Seel\u2019s Garden<\/em>\u00a0project was to engage with the rich and complex history of food across the city of Liverpool through a collaboration between a broad range of partners with a shared interest in time, food and community engagement.<\/p>\n

With all the current interest in growing food locally, including long waiting lists for allotments and many new community \u2018Growers\u2019 groups, we explored the history of local food in Liverpool to see what other surprises might be lurking around Liverpool. Dairies in Chinatown? Pig-farms on Mossley Hill? We wondered whether knowing more about where we used to get our food from might inspire other radical ideas about where we could grow our food in the future. \u00a0

Volunteer and academic researchers used a combination of research methodologies \u2013 oral history, archive research and site identification\/ documentation \u2013 to build up a multi-layered picture of the changing nature of food systems in Liverpool. The data gathered from each of these activities is now available from this web page and also fed into a variety of creative projects.<\/p>\n

The project was a collaboration between\u00a0Transition Liverpool<\/a>,\u00a0Friends of Everton Park<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Friends of Sudley Estate<\/a>, as well as academics from Liverpool, Manchester\u00a0 and Edinburgh. The main aim of the project is to explore how engaging local communities with the changing patterns of urban food production might contribute to current grassroots efforts within Liverpool to raise awareness around current food issues.<\/p>\n

The project was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and are one of ten Pilot Demonstrator Projects aimed at showcasing the distinctive approach of the new\u00a0Connected Communities<\/a>\u00a0research theme.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
