| Pushing the boundaries of SW Burnley |
Dave and I both went on the photo walk last week, and really enjoyed meeting John, Pat and Simon. It was great to be able to come on the walk and just meet people and talk/listen to them - as we'd decided to just come and take part, rather than documenting it through film.

We
planned initially to go to Scott park, but after we set off we all
started discussing the boundaries of SW Burnley, with John asking if we
could 'push the boundaries of the triangle' and suggesting we go and
explore the industrial areas on the other side of Rossendale Rd.
It
was interesting to see the busy area and walk through the buildings,
butty vans and people having lunch... being part of the temporary
community that lived there during the daytime. There were lots of cars
in the parking areas, suggesting that a lot of the staff come from
outside the area. I wonder how many SW Burnley residents work there?
The group was keen to walk around the cemetery after this, and the nature of our location led naturally to talk about loss and death, and discussion of this being 'secret Burnley, the bit no-one really wants to talk about, but where everyone ends up'.
