PRESCOT has been selected as one of only six places in the country to be part of a major cultural programme launched by Historic England.
The project – entitled ‘Picturing England’s High Streets’- will see a photographer in residence commissioned to engage with local communities and organisations to create a contemporary portrait of the high street from now, until 2024.

‘Picturing England’s High Streets’ is part of the Cultural Programme within £95 million High Streets Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) initiative, of which Prescot is part.
Cllr Tony Brennan, Knowsley Council Cabinet Member for Regeneration & Economic Development commented:
