The Walkers Are Welcome Group in Hebden Royd and Hebden Bridge Arts Festival invites you to take part in CROSSINGS - a photography Project for Spring 2022.
We are asking you to discover, identify and ‘capture’ in photographic images the crossings and land marks of Hebden Royd including stiles, gates, bridges and gaps. Hebden Royd includes Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, and Cragg Vale in the postcode area of HX7
Crossings are a unique feature in the landscape and footpath network in the locality. They allow for the possibility for one to continue with their journey but also to contemplate with where they have been and where they are going to next. The ‘Crossings’ project is asking experienced and less frequent walkers, and anyone who likes to take photographs to record the many and variety of crossings within Hebden Royd. This can include stiles, gates, bridges, gaps, pedestrian and zebra crossings.
This public photography project is OPEN TO EVERYONE. We hope to encourage walking and engagement with the local countryside, and provide a record and mapping of the publically accessible crossings in the locality.
Please join us and get involved in this project to embrace the great outdoors and the beautiful landscape that we live in.
