We’re looking for an artist to create an animation to whizz through nearly 250 years of Southport’s townscape heritage – from sandhills to the town today. Interested – read on!
It’s hard to realise now, but 250 years ago Southport was just sandhills, with a marshy trackway between them, fronting onto the beach and the sea. Since then, those natural features have disappeared under roads and buildings – but the traces are there if you know where to look.
These changes happened gradually, and one thing led to another – the building of a railway line on the beach created an area of dry land, which became a park, for example! But it took us a long time to work out all the details, so we want to share the information in a lively way with people, especially our key target audience of primary schoolchildren.
Please take a look at the brief below. We hope you’ll be interested in sending us a proposal. The deadline is Monday 29 April at 12 noon. And do get in touch if you have any queries – contact details are on the brief and we’ll respond as soon as possible.
