At the final event a large map was displayed on the table and local people invited to share their experiences of living in Blackhall Colliery. These stories were recorded and edited together with pre-recorded audio material from our workshops (using Ableton Live Software). The final event, a live radio broadcast of local voices, was streamed on www.cornerslive.org.

As part of our research to understand Blyth we documented the local area. We photographed that which we were drawn to: architectural details, colours, found objects, textures, signage. These photographs were printed 6×9 cm for the final event and participants invited to link the images with the map. Immediately a game like atmosphere developed.

In addition to the photographs we printed a set of questions based on what we had learnt about the local area. For example: Did you go to the dances at the Roxy Ballroom? What has changed about Regents street? What was your personal experience of the miners strike of 84. Questions and photographs became prompts that allowed the conversation to flow and circulate during the broadcast.

A broadcast schedule with a list of themes was displayed at the event so that people passing by could join in if they wished to.

At each location we invited musicians who we felt had a special relationship to the place to accompany our broadcast. For example, in Blyth we were joined by local folk duo Jacqui Clark and Peter Shaw.

The mobile radio unit was designed in collaboration with Adam Clarke. The unit provided a safe structure to broadcast from, and somewhere in which to store the archive material and our equipment whilst moving to the different locations. The archive contained: photographs, sound recordings, video footage, found objects, texts – bits and pieces we had gathered from each of the places we had visited. We used this archive to share stories from one location with another.
