A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF FAVERSHAM 2010

The second exhibition, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, took place from 4th to 12th September 2010. As the doors closed on Sunday 12th, the whole event was pronounced a huge success. During the nine days of the exhibition in Faversham’s Drill Hall, over 4000 visitors came to see the 365 photographs, taken every day of the year 2009 by local protographers, doubling the number who came to the first exhibition held over the same period in 2008.

The innovative project of both artistic and historical value also provided opportunities to learn about the history of the town.
