Richmond’s First World War Heritage exhibition, ‘In their Footsteps: has touched the lives of 50,000 people
The work, shown at Twickenham’s Orleans House Gallery, saw young people explore and creatively interpret stories relating to Richmond during the First World War.
Hundreds of young people visited different heritage sites, researched archives and online records, and met local historians to uncover real life stories.
The exhibition has now been viewed by 50,000 people who visited Orleans House Gallery as well as schools and libraries where the exhibition toured.
Evaluation of the project also shows all participants increased their understanding and interest in the First World War heritage of Richmond and increased their confidence and resilience.
