These photographs record a visit to Kearsley Golf Club and Manor Golf Club by current Spender scholar Richard Gaskill. The Humphrey Spender Scholarship was set up to create a contemporary response to the Worktown Archive. Richard will be documenting the theme of Sports, Spectacles and Spectators with photographs over the course of the next year culminating in an exhibition at Bolton Museum. You can follow the development of his project on his blog.

We’ll be featuring more modern Mass Observation projects here as the archive has inspired a lot of interesting responses.
