Project findings: Everyday life
This section of the exhibition is about some of the themes that we found out about from Hyde Park and Burley residents during the Connected Lives research project.
Hyde Park and Burley is an area where everyday life tends to go on unnoticed. People have spoken of their affection for some of the more everyday aspects of the neighbourhood; of streets across which residents still hang out washing to dry; of the collection of scrap metal by horse and cart. While the area is home to fewer families than in the past, parents continue to bring up children here; and those children still play out in the summer months.
