Street detectorism

Dudley CreatesStories of Place
Written By Holly Doron

Stories of Placers and passersbys have been invited to become Street Detectorists, choosing a clue or a tool from nature to accompany them as they journey along the High Street with awakened senses whilst writing or drawing their discoveries. It has led to lots of maps and stories now on the Stories of Place online archive. The Street Detectorism prototypes have continually evolved with Street Detectorists’ experiences and reflections.
