Barbara Warsop was
put in touch with Art in the Park through the Walkley History Project http://walkleyhistory.wordpress.com/. She has a
collection of photographs of life ‘on the Springs’, and is writing her memoirs.
She was enthusiastically involved in a number of project events, and was kind
enough to let Art in the Park visit her at her home in Stannington. We had a
cup of tea and a chat about her memories – click the link below to hear what
she had to say (audio upload in progress, watch this space!).

What a view! The moors to the west...
...and the city to the east (including Parkwood Springs)
