During 2021, working with Inspire, poet Sue Dymoke led a series of online workshops inviting local people to create poetry inspired by fascinating old photographs of the Sherwood Forest area from the Inspire Picture Archive. The resulting work is now part of a touring exhibition visiting libraries between 2021 & 2023, and has been published in the special Poetry Place anthology which you can view in digital format below.
This wonderful project was made possible with funding from the Miner2Major Landscape Partnership Scheme, which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Miner2Major celebrates the diverse wildlife, important habitats, and rich heritage of Sherwood Forest, and focuses on the heart of the area – from Bestwood to Ollerton, and Mansfield to Rufford Abbey.
We hope you enjoy the publication, take time to explore the wider virtual exhibition which this page is a part of, visit a library gallery during the Poetry Place tour, and perhaps even be inspired to write your own poetry using old photographs of the area from the wonderful resource that is the online Inspire Picture Archive.
