    Situation

    TS aims to produce a photographic record of a wide range of small shops and businesses, to investigate and record the relationship the shopkeepers and owners have with their business, building and neighbourhood, to discuss with shopkeepers and owners the impacts of regeneration on their businesses and to document their views. To engage shopkeepers, owners and local residents in the processes of regeneration and develop new relationships between Mid Pennine Arts, artists, neighbourhood renewal officers and regeneration agencies. TS will work with a social geographer and a film-maker to produce a case-study and a short film and use the case-study as the basis for a publication to demonstrate how the arts can be a catalyst in the regeneration of communities. Talking Shop has been delivered in some pilot areas of Pennine Lancashire, Pendle, Burnley, Hyndburn and Rossendale and we are now looking to roll out across Lancashire over a two year period.
