Beneath Our Footsteps – Compiler Exhibition in Leytonstone

Beneath Our Footsteps - John Rogers, Brigitte Hart and Compiler at No.1 Church Lane Leytonstone

Back in August 2024 I collaborated with Compiler and sound artist Brigitte Hart on a walk along Leytonstone’s buried river Philley Brook (Fillebrook, Filly Brook) as part of their project Beneath Our Footsteps where local people engaged with the idea of the river. The walk and the project were a fascinating project and a great new way to highlight the presence of our lost river.
An exhibition over four days took place at No.1 Church Lane Leytonstone that brought together some of the work generated by the project.

    How I would love to have seen this exhibition. I watched your Fille Brook journey where it went beside our old house in Cavendish Drive.
