Following a pilot project in 2018, 60 Miles by Road or Rail’s 2021 activities include archived oral histories , a 30-minute documentary film, an award-winning photography project in the newly refurbished Northampton Museum, two co-created activities with local residents, three academic workshops, and a new theatre production made by local artists at Royal & Derngate. The project was funded by Arts Council England, National Lottery Heritage Fund, National Lottery Community Fund and the Northamptonshire Community Foundation.
