''Monday 20.6.22'' I headed to Ward Degnans boxing gym for two sessions: 6–7pm, Juniors (11–16); 7–8pm, Seniors (16+). Using a pommel horse as a surface, I set up [[the laminated Google maps (North, Central, South)|South Street and Market 1]]. Isaac Ward (owner, ex-professional boxer) and his team helpfully coordinated the delivery of participants during the [[workshop|Cultural Spaces 2]]. Much of the young people’s complex sense of place and memory derived from the house or street where they lived and the school they attended. The [[photo elicitation method|In Focus 1]] combined well with [[the maps|South Street and Market 1]]: in the proposed spot for the Treasury Campus, currently a derelict car park, one respondent suggested having a "festival" there while another offered up "a new car park". They found it hard to imagine things to replace what was abandoned or dilapidated: "anything" was a forlorn refrain.* Curious, too, was how some respondents falsely thought that images of Northgate alleys were of roads near to where they lived. Something interesting here about hyper-localised perception and homogenous residential geographies. The gym itself appeared to be one of the few community spaces for young people across Darlington; some attendees were from surrounding Northgate, but many were from elsewhere in the town.

''Wednesday 22.6.22'' Residents were easily able to picture and imagine places even without visual prompts. [[Some never went to the town centre|South Street and Market 2]]; some were very [[cynical and despondent|HITH1]] about where they lived; some very proud of the town's heritage. Particularly the library building, [["given to the people by the Peases"|poem8]], was a source of much affection. The battle for its existence has left [[lasting resentment between residents and the Council.|poem4]] [[Previous field notes-->->Monday 20.6.22]] //From Jubilee and June 2022 - Field Notes// (set:$source to "Jubiliee and June 2022")
