Bransholme is an area or housing estate situated on the north-eastern side of Kingston upon Hull, England. The name Bransholme comes from an old Scandinavian word meaning Brand's water meadow. This blog hopes to bring together research about the area, its history and its residents. This research will inform the arts strand of the NHS' health centre planned for Bransholme.

Visit to Bransholme Community Arts Enterprise

Made an interesting visit to Bransholme Community Arts who are based at Dorchester Primary School and met with Chris Smith who works their part time and drives alot of their projects forward.






One of the two spaces where BCAE are based.


Unusual shaped bricks outside entrance to BCAE.

There was a craft / greeting card making session happening whilst I was there.
This is a diaroma card made by Anne. They planned to sell the cards at the next school far to raise money for charity.



We said it would be good to make one using pictures of Bransholme. Some the attendees expressed and interest in photography / SLR cameras.

They run numerous sessions at the school including computer and web classes on a Tuesday and youth clubs in centre across Bransholme. Also the residents association are in the process of putting together a newletter over the next couple of weeks and Chris suggested putting something in about the project.
