As GTS mentioned in my comments, "an important subtext to this project must be how do you get this new, undiscovered information to the right people by the right means".
This is something that is proving quite a challenge. Like GTS also mentioned, "What I can't do is work on collecting data and 'hope' that something comes from it" (you know me too well(?))
I have been looking at some of the possible ways to get it out there, being website pop ups, adverts on tubes/ local newspapers, a piece of direct mail, create a virtual tourist... But my only problem is, 'how do I know my audience if I don't have the info?' (duh Ivy). So I went on walks to see what I could find.
I reallt wanted to avoid central London, but it was the fist place I was pushed to. The first person i spoke to concerning this project told me about Marble Arch. Every one knows Marble Arch I thought to myself, but then i was informed that is here that London's old Tyburn Gallows stood.
With a history dating back to the 12th century, Tyburn was the hanging gallery of choice for the city's notorious criminals, petty thieves and political prisoners. There supposedly stands a marker on the local sidewalk where the Tree once stood, but a thorough search yielded (for me) nothing
