  #Picturing Lockdown

  We’re facing one of the most extraordinary moments in living memory. We are living through history.

  Historic England wants to record our collective experience in these extraordinary times, spark a conversation about identity and its connection to history and place, and help people navigate their way through with reflection, expression and creativity.

  For one week, starting Wednesday 29 April, we are asking artists and members of the public to submit photos to express their feelings and record their experience of one week in lock down. From rainbows in windows to star jumps on balconies, show us what lockdown means to you.
