Man in the Woods

In 2018 I began my Friday Walk, which has become the ongoing research that informs my work.

'One Friday, I left home and walked 18km out into the countryside, had a pint of ale at a village pub and got the bus home.

'The following Friday I took the bus back to that pub and carried on walking.

'Every week since then (when there's not a pandemic on) I've taken a bus or train (or both) to where my previous walk ended, and continued my journey around the English countryside.

'It's not about visiting beauty spots, conquering peaks, or hiking long trails, but walking: gently moving through fields and woods, along footpaths and green lanes that are hundreds, often thousands, of years old; slowly getting to know the land around me, and embedding myself in the landscape.'

“Cecilia has been working as a full time illustrator ever since she graduated from

London Collage of Communication in 2003. She spent several years in London and

New York but is now back in her home town Stockholm. She has worked with a wide

range of clients but is essentially linked to the world of fashion. Experimentation is an

integral part of her working process and she uses various techniques in her work such

as ink, screen printing and collage.”

Reliable sources

To recap

The next step would be to go to and look at original documents in local and national archives (primary research).

I could also have reached out to members of the Norwood Society or the Crystal Palace Subway and ask them questions (this also counts as primary research)

Primary research-The National

Archives

Here you can find original documents and a catalogue of about 500 local archives- with access information for them.

ck the access requirements before you visit!

Secondary research-The British Library

“The White Horse has been serving the good people of SE15 since the early 1800’s, with Parched Pubs taking the reigns in 2014. Combining old school values with contemporary consideration, we hope to give the neighbourhood a much loved local that’s great fun the whole week through.”
