Grantabrycge

'Grantabrycge' is an ongoing, autobiographic study of place. The project takes the reader on a local journey through the city of Cambridge, in an attempt to question the origins of local history, and determine their relevance to the present day. Between A.D. 875-1066 the area was under Anglo-Danish rule. Grantabrycge was the name given to the area, which first acknowledged the modern city of Cambridge on the river Granta.

The nordic and pagan roots of the modern city of Cambridge are no longer visible. The popular advert for the city has been moulded by an institution that holds almost 800 years of religious and political ties within the UK.

The University now dominates decisions regarding the development of the city.
