Summary
This project collaborates with Abri Housing Association to co-produce creative workshops and baseline data to capture what residents feel, understand and experience about Mansbridge, a suburb of Southampton known for its generous green spaces, striking layout, and distinctive style of housing. The architect Herbert Collins designed the estate with Swaythling Housing Society, and 2025 marks the centenary of its development. We co-created a public event to celebrate the history of the area with the local community, providing analysis of three key themes across the programme: pride, heritage literacy, and place perception.
