In the summer of 2014 shoppers on Bath Street dropped in to the rEvive shop (former Burton’s outfitters on Bath Street Ilkeston and shared their ‘life stories’. In the Autumn we formed a happy collaboration with local artist/maker Julie Genner (juliegenner@googlemail.com) and used our stories to create a lasting legacy for ourselves and the wider community.

The ‘Linked Life Stories’ were exhibited in the rEvive shop windows in Bath Street Ilkeston until February. Now, thanks to the Smoothie Bar we’re delighted to have been given another opportunity to display some tantalising glimpses of local life stories in the window of the Smoothie Bar, on Bath Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
