Toby Butler in the Geography Department here at Royal Holloway is working on
soundwalks that take oral history recordings out from the archive into the
landscape. Working with the Museum of London, he's produced a couple of
walks along the Thames which he's now evaluating. These are available as
CDs or to download onto iPods/MP3 players.
If you are in or around London this summer and you want a different kind of
urban walk, have a look at the details on www.memoryscape.org.uk
Toby is running escorted walks on July 28th and 31st where you can talk to
him about his work.
Any feedback/comments please get in touch with Toby directly
