CARADON, CORNWALL

 

Local area 21 project

Young people, aged 11-12, were provided with film and cameras and asked to take photos of their local area, Millbrook. They were asked to photograph the aspects of their area which they felt were worth celebrating into the Millennium. The images show how much the local open space is appreciated as well as the local distinctiveness of the buildings
