Walk 4

June 18th 2019

This walk started at Norwich livestock market which lays on the outskirts and South of the city. It felt we were very much on the overlap between human activity and nature 

We were heading for the 4th bridge of the walk and between here and there we took in more sites of the urban/natural hinterland.

Until we arrived at the bridge which allowed the A140 to pass over the River Yare.

It was raining hard and the combination of railings and tall vegetation meant it was not possible to access the bridge at a level much lower than the road.

Walk 3 June 13th 2019

We saw three bridges on this day, and used the car to cover some of the ground in between due to inaccessibility on foot and therefore a long walk away from the area of interest to us.

The first beautiful brick bridge had water gently flowing under it. We could only view it from the road above as there was no access point.

This is the fourth bridge along the Yare as we leave Norwich centre

This huge brick red engineered bridge spans the railway line with three archways. This was nearest we could get though we could see a set of steps beyond us but we were in an industrial yard enclosed my a fence and the steps seemed to be beyond the industrial area and had no obvious access point.

Walk 2 June 11th 2019

In the pouring rain we revisited some of the route of the last walk, to get more of a sense of the area. The cold and the heavy rain meant that I have only a limited record of the walk and I didn’t even make it to the bridge because there were lots of cows in the field.

Collaboration 3

May 10th 2019

Just over a year ago the seeds, of what has turned out to be an exciting collaboration with GB, were sown. It began with me sharing a web link I found by chance about river bridges in Norwich. It showed small thumbnail photographs and information of bridges between the early 1930′s to 2000 along the Rivers Yare and Wensum,

Following an initial meeting we felt we had the bones of a collaboration project. We identified a section of the River Yare from Norwich city centre as far as Bowthorpe and chose 7 dates in June to meet and walk the chosen route in sections. Our initial aim was to collect experiential and observational material using any media we chose to include sound recording, photography, film, video, sketching. We would spend time together and apart to gather the material.
