Reflections as seen through the Eyes of a Pensioner
Mike
A poem about the uncertain future for elderly people living in Bristol prefab homes, marked by Bristol City Council for demolition.
Workshop details
Following the war, homes were built quickly using prefabricated parts. Decades on, many of these temporary “prefabs” are still in use, and the people that live in them have come to love them and the community that surrounds them. A council decision to replace them is being fought. In this workshop, held over three days at the Southville centre, we find out why.
This workshop was led by Aikaterini Gegisian, Paul Matson and Paddy Uglow.
