I have just had a note from the programme secretary of our Local History Society which might be of interest to those listers within striking distance of Sheffield. The artist Norah K.Rogerson who gives talks to local history groups about her work, is having an exhibition in the Winter Gardens, Sheffield from Friday Nov 13th to Friday Nov 20th including Sat. and Sun. from 8am to 6pm. 2009 It is called Sheffield Canal Basin from dereliction to regeneration, an exhibition of paintings recorded on site between 1989-1995. She recently came to one of our meetings and showed slides of these pictures which I found absolutely fascinating particularly with the stories of the characters she met and the incidents experienced whilst she was working on site.
