Apparently HRH The Queen is in the neighbourhood for a Diamond Jubilee tour, but she hasn't stopped by The Collect Project! Quite a few police officers wandering through the market today, though, so her madge is making her presence felt in other ways! I stopped one officer and asked him to contribute a story and he said he'd come back with his colleague who is an "excellent draughtsman" later, so hopefully some good drawings from the local force soon to come.
I popped out to get a cup of tea and a mysterious woman was in the process of leaving a story when I came back. She was on the phone, so I didn't get to chat to her, but she left a great story about the Back Path that runs from Essex through Wood Street across the marshes and beyond into central London. Amazing indeed.
Also, artist Karl England came down to say hello and left a lovely little drawing of his bus journey to Wood Street Market.
A good day for Wood Street stories.
