Verity-Jane Keefe is commissioned to make a moving image
work that looks at the new development site and it’s relationship to Melksham. Members of the local
community are invited to walk and talk, exploring the landscape (both built and
natural), and the physical fabric of the site and Melksham. They
will be involved in a vital research stage of the projects’ development.
Participants are invited to
bring dogs, family, bikes, cameras, notebooks etc, anything that they would
normally use to explore the town.
Here are two of the four routes with times. The new development does not show on the map, it is still depicted as fields to the east.
It is suggested that if you are attending walk one, you may like to stay for walk 2 as they create a loop from town out and then back into town.
If you have any mobility queries please contact Verity on 07817 302637. Where possible, I will endeavour to arrange to meet you for a section of the walk on route.
The routes for walks three and four which will be happening on Sat 17th March will be published on Sunday 11th March. We will meet in the Art cafe on the High Street at 11am for an 11.30 start. The first walk will finish and we will break for some cake and a drink (which I will bring). People should then join us at 1pm for a 1.15pm start for walk two.

Walk one: Through the town and on Prioress's Ride
A gentle 1.18 mile walk from the town centre (meet at the Art cafe on the High Street). The walk will take in many different architectural styles of housing through different pockets of development out to the East and around the edge of the new development site. it is depicted on this map as fields but is at different stages of construction, some houses being occupied. A busy route popular with dog walkers, cyclists and those walking to and from town.
Walk two: Clackers Brook
A 1.4 mile walk from the eastern edge of the new development, weaving through the site and over a footbridge and along Clackers Brook back towards the town, going around King George V Park joining the river for the final section to Bath Road.
