Tickhill
Today as seen by 14–18 year old Young People
What is it
like being a young person in Tickhill in 2007 and what would you
imagine would make your grandchildren, 50 years from now, say “Is
that really what it was like 50 years ago?- Amazing!” ??
The
explorer Scout Group in Tickhill are carrying out a project to describe what it is like being a young
person in Tickhill in this first part of the 21st
century.
They are
helping the Local History Society to create a record
of life today in order to create continuity between Tickhill’s
past, its present and its future.
 To
stimulate their thinking about the way in which things change,
Kevin Welborn gave an introductory slide show with images of the
past (taken from the Historical Society’s website) and images of
the future which he had brought back from the year 2057 which he
had visited with the aid of Dr Who’s Tardis!
Examples of the actual
pictures brought back are shown below - the Buttercross in the year
2057 and the Super-highway (the SM 630) linking Tickhill and Wadworth (you can see the skyscrapers of Wadworth in the
background)
In order to
create their record of Tickhill in 2007 the Explorer Scouts have
taken lots of photographs, and teams have identified several
topics including:-
- what I do
on a Saturday morning
- what I
wear
- what I
eat.
- transport
Watch this
space for their photographs and comments on Tickhill in 2007 when
they publish their
work on this website over the coming months.
