I worked with groups from Anthony Gell School, Wirksworth and Hampshire Collegiate School, Embley, looking at the grounds and surroundings of Lea Hurst and Embley Park respectively.

In the spirit of Crimean War photographer Roger Fenton we set up a large tent camera obscura, and took individual paper negatives 4x3ft for development in temporary darkrooms set up at the schools. These were contact printed for display in the newly-reopened museum in May 2010
