‘Kate Reserve’ by Madeleine Tingey as displayed in the 2025 Local History Awards Exhibition
Madeleine lives near Kate Reserve and her love for the little pocket of green space is most evident in her poem. The judges were impressed with her “evocative glimpses into the appearance and use of the Reserve”. In a couple of weeks’ time we will feature the other Equal 1st Prize winner’s poem, so keep checking back and enjoying #TimeWarpTuesday for all the updates.
