Katharine and I had a trip on the bus up to Thirsk today, and as well as a look around the town centre we had a lovely walk beside Cod Beck. Before catching the bus back to York we went into St Mary's Church where there is a massive collage banner showing features of the town and it's surroundings.
I took a number of photos of elements of the collage, but I was particularly impressed by this part of the collage showing the Market Place, with it's impressive clock tower. The most striking difference to reality was the absence of any traffic. There was a lot of traffic in the real square today, far more than normal, so I'm assuming that for some reason traffic was being diverted through the town centre.
The clock tower appeared in our project in November when it had been decorated by the Thirsk yarnbombers for Remembrance, though that shot was taken from a different direction to this view - https://365project.org/fishers/365/2021-11-12
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
This particular part of the banner was made with cross stitch. Different parts of the banner were made using different techniques, so there were pieces of tapestry, tufting, embroidery and patchwork (amongst others) which made a rather effective whole. I'm not certain how big the whole collage is, but I would estimate that it is about 1.5 metres high and possibly up to 8 metres long.
