pete_fcs Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 i am putting together some ideas for a momento for kelvin flats. you may already have seen my photo's http://photobucket.com/albums/b171/sheffieldarchives/kelvin%20flats/ but i have hundreds more, plus poems, and interviews with ex-tenants. if you were to choose, which of these appeals most, say at a fiver a throw: - a book of mainly black and white photos, with captions or... - a book of text, interviews with ex-tenants about life on kelvin or... - a dvd containing a carefully-produced "slideshow" of the best kelvin photo's, with a soundtrack of ex-tenants talking about life there, plus suitably atmospheric music all opinions very much appreciated!

pete_fcs Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 mel, i tried to get hold of video footage a few times but no luck... there are nice computer programs which can make a sumptious moving-image doo-dah out of photographs, and these always look good with the right music and speech, a bit like those history documentaries on the telly when they've got no moving footage! please keep posting comments, they are very useful ta!

Appolo Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 my daughter & son in law lived on Kelvin never had any trouble they made plenty of friends It wasn't their choice the council put them there When I visited them I never had any trouble They have now bought their own house but laugh about their time spent on kelvin flats We all would be interested in a dvd about kelvin flats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
