    Cultural Digital Designers in Residence in Schools 2020 A project by the Comino / Ideas Foundation partnership in Greater Manchester Schools with Manchester Metropolitan University Project Name: Bygone Bolton CDDIR Name: Tom Cockeram CDDIR Course: MA Product Design Allumnus School DigitalName: Designers Ladybridge in Residence High Schoolin Schools 2016 Teachers Names: Joy Helliwell, Jess Greenhalgh Cultural Organisation: The Science and Industry Museum, Manchester Link Staff Name: Adam Flint Curriculum Areas: Citizenship & Art Pupils Year and Number: 19 yr 8 and 9s Project Overview Students created their own monuments to people and places in Bolton, that were significant in the town’s development during the Industrial Revolution. These were informed by a trip to SIM’s Textiles Gallery and a walking tour of Bolton town centre. The finished sculptures will be exhibited as a 3D map alongside the walking tour so that other students can share the experience. Project Rationale To provide a way for the students to connect with their surroundings. It was identified by their citizenship teacher, Ms Helliwell, that students were aware of global concepts such as slavery and the rights of the child, yet not how they have directly impacted their local landscape. To create a project alongside the students so that they felt they were co-collaborators. The end outcomes were chosen and designed by each group as a way to share the information they had gathered informally. Project Rationale To prepare students with a grounding of what courses and careers are available for them if they were interested in pursuing an art based pathway, and in addition highlight the crossover opportunities between disciplines.

  • Memorial Inscriptions the Parish Church St Mary, the Virgin Deane
    Memorial Inscriptions Memorial AtInscriptions At The Parish Church The ParishOf Church Of StSt Mary,Mary, TheThe VirginVirgin Deane Deane BoltonBolton (Second Edition 2018) (Second Edition 2018) PREFACE This edition of the Monumental Inscriptions of Deane Church has been transcribed from an earlier version produced by the Bolton & District Family History Society in April 1983. It was typewritten and therefore of limited circulation. It was thought that Deane Church did not hold a copy in its archives and therefore the only way to retrieve the inscriptions was to re-run the project. Fortunately a copy was discovered in Bolton Museum archives and photographed. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software was used but due to the limited facilities available, much of this material was not suitable for the process. As this is such a valuable source of information, the decision was taken to manually enter the text. This process was a labour of love which covered many months. To ensure this does not need to be repeated, digital copies are to be deposited with Bolton Museum, Manchester Library , Bolton and District Family History Society and available from the website www.deanechurch.co.uk Eric Morgan 15th July 2018 FOREWORD The ancient church of St Mary the Virgin, Deane, Bolton, Lancashire has perhaps the most interesting history of any in these parts. It is for this reason that the Bolton and History Society decided to list the monumental inscriptions of the older parts of the churchyard and also in the interior of the church. It dates from at least Norman times and probably earlier.

  • Slice Project to Promote Access to Culture in Additional Needs Education
    PRESS RELEASE: June 2015 Curious Minds, Octagon Theatre Bolton, Bolton Museum, Ladywood Primary School and Rumworth School present: SLiCE Project to Promote Access to Culture in Additional Needs Education North West Bridge organisation Curious Minds are working with a number of Bolton organisations to encourage better involvement and access to cultural education for children with special needs, through interactive historic events at Smithills Hall from Friday 3 July. Held at Smithills Hall, one of the oldest and best preserved manor houses in North West England, the project will take place from Friday 3 – Friday 10 July, beginning with an action-packed introductory event which will include activities and games, food and drink, and live-action performances by actors depicting the various people who might have lived and worked in the Hall since its construction in the early 1300s. The project; A House Through Time , will explore the past through drama workshops led by the Octagon Theatre’s Associate Director Lisa O’Neill-Rogan , the present through visual art workshops led by Suzanne Harlow , and dance workshops led by dancers Darren Pritchard and Paul Adams from Z Arts Manchester , who will be using Microsoft Kinect sensors to create interactive dance performances based on students’ thoughts regarding their future. Throughout the week, non- verbal stimuli such as piped smells of baking bread, carbolic soap and coal fires, sign language, and symbols will be used to explore additional methods of accessibility. As part of the Curious Minds SLiCE (Specialist Leaders in Cultural Education) fellowship, the organisations involved will be researching how educational access to cultural sites and activities can be improved for students and young people with additional needs, including sensory and physical disabilities.
