Sound Archive: Metro installations

'Letter Home 1915 and Between 1 and 10 Hundredweights' are two site specific installations at Jarrow and Chichester Metro stations. 

Look out for the posters to access the sound recordings via the QR Code on the poster.

In 2024, artist Richard Bliss and writer Stephanie Lyttle collaborated to produce two art pieces now on display at Jarrow and Chichester Metro stations. The art is inspired by the sound archives they were working with at Tyne and Wear Archives.
