Volunteer Photographer Opportunity - Ealing Heritage Lottery Fund Projects
Time Lapse Photography VolunteerEaling Council is managing programmes of redevelopment and restoration in Walpole Park, PM Gallery & House, Gunnersbury Park and Gunnersbury Park Museum aided by Heritage Lottery Fund grants.We want to document the changes to the four sites throughout the projects by taking regular, seasonal photographs of key areas.The first site to undergo capital works will be Walpole Park. Close to the centre of the borough in Ealing itself, this park was formerly the historic garden of Pitzhanger Manor, the country home of John Soane, the late 18th century architect who designed the Bank of England and other famous London landmarks. Soane’s townhouse in Lincoln’s Inn Fields is now an important London museum and houses his eclectic and influential collection of artwork and other cultural artefacts, including paintings by Hogarth.Role DescriptionPurpose of RoleVolunteers will take photographs of key areas of the four Heritage Lottery Funded sites as works progress.Range of key tasks and opportunities1.
