Places and Spaces

A wide grassy field framed by two leafless trees with a long, multi-story building and rows of houses in the hazy distance.

Parkers Piece

“[I enjoy spending time at] The parks (Jesus Green, Midsummer Common, Parker’s Piece etc) as they are a nice big green  spaces to relax and feel like you are not in a small city. Yet there is always something happening and you feel part of the community as everyone uses them for the same reason. “
