We will soon be adding a new Exhibitions
page to the Disappearing London site. This will feature a regularly
updated selection of your images and video or audio clips which capture
the spirit of Disappearing London. Each Exhibition will stay live for
a few weeks before being replaced by a new one. Your exhibitions could
be built around a theme or period of history (Victorian pubs, art deco
shop fronts etc) or more eclectic selections of images: your favourite
buildings, underground spaces, quirky street signs or old-fashioned
phone boxes – whatever captures your imagination.
If you’d like
to stage an exhibition of your images on the site, please send us a
message and contact email address via the Suggest a Story page.
If you already have a website of images, and would like to show a selection
of these on our pages, with a link to your own site, we would also be
pleased to hear from you.
In a report published in January 2007
the cross party Parliamentary Small Shops Group called for the appointment
of a ‘shop Tsar’ to prevent big chains monopolising the high street
. It highlighted Twickenham where Tesco have a 47% share of the consumer
market. If you shop in Twickenham or run a shop in Twickenham why not
have your say on the forum or send us your story?
