During the month of May this year, landscape photographer John Davies spent 90 minutes each day for 10 days in the public green space of the Meadows parkland. He asked a total of 114 adults if he could take their picture.
Ninety-eight people agreed to have their portraits made to be included in exhibitions to help promote awareness of the potential loss of the Meadows.
