Great to see everyone at yesterday’s talk in Shrewsbury. The discussion was brilliant. Thanks to all those who shared their own experiences of the region and their reactions to the art. Your positive and constructive participation was appreciated. As we ran over our allotted time slot, you may have had more comments and questions on the themes of the lecture to explore, you can use this space to continue the discussion.
