Folder of photographs and other papers relating to the South Normanton and Pinxton Pigeon Project, 1985-1986. The project's co-ordinator was Tim Baker, Junction Arts worker. The project involved the publication of "pigeon reminiscences" (i.e. memories of pigeon breeders/racers), and aimed to take photographs of every pigeon loft in South Normanton and Pinxton. The folder includes numerous photographic prints, negatives and contact sheets showing pigeon lofts, as well as some correspondence and project newsletters. |
