A portrait of our High Street

One thought on “A portrait of our High Street”

  1. I missed this in Wanstead park so was really pleased to see I could catch it on Christchurch Green.
    Not disappointed…such a simple idea, but I loved it. Good to hear so much positivity, well in the main people are. It made me feel quite emotional for some reason….I just so love Wanstead, guess it’s good to hear other people do so much too.
    Well done Russell and thank you x
