about

Public Record: Estuary is an album of poetry based on archival reports of Victorian sea disasters along the shoreline of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, in the Thames estuary. The piece was originally commissioned to be listened to while walking a series of routes around Leigh's Old Town using the downloadable map (see below).

Public Record: Estuary portrays a place built of the in-between: Neither river nor sea, city nor countryside, ancient nor modern. It is a portrait of transition - a transition begun in the 19th century, but with eerie echoes in today's battles over the estuarine environment.

This piece was commissioned by METAL Southend-on-Sea, and debuted in November, 2013, as part of Shorelines: Literature Festival of the Sea. The piece is free to download (also available as lower-quality MP3s via Soundcloud), though donations are welcome.
