The UK research team started collecting contributions from members of the public to the “Voices from the Periphery” project with a site visit to Rotherham. From 23 to 25 October, they ran three discussion groups with locals who have experienced industrial decline in Rotherham first-hand. The discussion groups, held in the town’s district libraries, invited long-time residents to share their memories of the local coal and steel industries – from its heyday to its slow decline.
