Friends of Mansel Park and Millbrook Community Association worked in partnership with The Media Workshop to deliver the Mansel Park Photo Project in June and July 2009.

Members of the local community gained instruction and hints about cameras and photography, before they took up the task of photographing the park.

After collating all the photographs, decisions and selections were made and the results were reproduced and mounted to posters, notices and postcards. These will be used to promote the use of the park, its beauty and facilities across the city.

In total 25 members of the local community were involved in the production of these pictorial records.

The project was funded with a “Grassroots” grant from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation.
