Heritage Hearts in Parsloes Park

Barking Heritage Project was at the One Borough event this weekend, promoting its aim to put heritage at the heart of Barking's regeneration, with heart shaped Barking Heritage balloons. We engaged with the visitors, especially the families, as the children were attracted to our bright silver balloons, 'they went down (and up) very well, and we manged to avoid the storms!' Adults had the chance to get involved too, viewing photographs of historic buildings and discussing their knowledge and memories of them. It was another windy day of community outreach - 'this time we lost a couple of hearts to the skies above - the upside was hopefully our message has spread far and wide...'
