The Grit Project

Lowestoft at 10:00 AM

There will be a chance to learn more about what The Grit project entails and help with new material, photographs and stories at a special event.

A Grit Gathering day will be held at Christ Church Centre in Whapload Road, Lowestoft, on Saturday, January 27, between 10am and 4pm. This will be a chance to meet friends, exchange stories and shed light on old photographs as the project is launched.

Devised by Poetry People, in partnership with the Lowestoft and East Suffolk Maritime Museum and Lowestoft Rising, the scheme has just been awarded a £55,000 National Lottery grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).

A spokesman for the scheme said: “What do you know about The Grit? Did you or your family ever live there? Please come and share your memories of Lowestoft’s forgotten fishing village and find out more about this exciting project.”

There will also be an exhibition of photographs, archive film and audio, plus a short slideshow presented by Mr Parkin.

Entry is free all day and everyone is invited along.

Anyone who would like to contribute to The Grit project can email info@poetrypeople.co.uk or write to Poetry People, The Cut, 9 New Cut, Halesworth, Suffolk, IP19 8BY.
