Find out what happens when you give a poet an Adana press and some rudimentary typesetting lessons... A wonderful chance to explore the brilliant poems that emerged from @jr_carpenter's @StreetLifeYork residency -- and more of her recent work!

Before it was the StreetLife Hub, 29-31 Coney Street was a Dorothy Perkins store! Did you work or shop at this Dorothy Perkins? We want to hear your memories and stories of the now-closed clothing store 🏬 🗓 So come along to the Hub between 11am and 5pm — Sat 12 August! – at York, England
An image of the current StreetLife hub shopfront. The logo is centred above the pillar and the black shop front is decorated with a mural that includes flowers and a bee, trees, and musical notes. You can see into the StreetLife hub and the exhibition boards on the walls.

A screenshot from Google Maps circa July 2018. An image of a black shopfront, two windows and an entryway with a black pillar in the centre. The shop windows have a red sale sign and two mannequins. The shop sign says “BURTON” and “DOROTHY PERKINS” in white.

An old black and white photo of Coney Street in York. The street is full of people and there are various shop signs hanging into the street. The names of the shops include Singer, the Willow café, WHSmith’s, Burton and more.
