SUMMARY:Shakespeare North Playhouse: Prescot High Street: A Portrait of the
  High Street
DESCRIPTION:SHAKESPEARE NORTH PLAYHOUSE CAFE\n\nAND\n\nSHOPPING FRONT WINDO
 WS\, 5-7 ECCLESTON STR.\n\nOPENS 31 AUGUST\n\nSince 2021\, Tony Mallon has
  been working as a photographer-in-residence with local Prescot residents\
 , to reimagine the high street and create a contemporary portrait of the a
 rea.\n\nTony initially ran a series of photography and memory fairs inviti
 ng people connected to Prescot to share their own personal photographs and
  local social history about the area. He then went on to establish a Presc
 ot Photography Club. Every Saturday\, the new photography club has been ex
 ploring what makes up the high street using street photography and portrai
 ture. The group have not only been co-producing all of the work but have b
 een their own curators\, editing and sequencing the images and stories. A
 n exhibition of work will also be displayed later this autumn\, from 28 Se
 ptember 2023\, at Open Eye Gallery\, who have co-commissioned the project.
 \n\nThis exhibition is part of the Picturing High Streets\, a three-year p
 roject led by Photoworks which includes six photographer-in-residence prog
 rammes at six high street locations across England\, as well as artist men
 toring\, a digital nationwide mass participation project and a national to
 uring outdoor exhibition.\n\nOver the past few years Knowsley Council has 
 put a lot of hard work and investment into developing Prescot. Prescot was
  selected as one of the 68 high streets to benefit from the High Streets H
 eritage Action Zone project in 2020. The high streets cultural programme i
 s the widest-reaching\, community-led arts and heritage programme in the p
 ublic realm that has ever been organised\, led by Historic England in part
 nership with Arts Council England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.\
 n\nThe £3.1 million heritage-led regeneration programme see’s major inv
 estment from Knowsley Council and Historic England into a number of key pr
 ojects in Prescot town centre. In addition\, Prescot have benefited from a
  series of cultural events as part of the HSHAZ Cultural Programme Local G
 rants\, as delivered by the Prescot Cultural Consortium\, led by The Shake
 speare North Playhouse.\n\nImage: Barber in Prescot. Stephen Jackson\, 202
