Students from Gospel Oak Primary School began their oneweek project on-site at St George’s Bloomsbury. In addition to investigating the history of the site through a series of guided
visits, students used cameras and sketching pencils to record
their own responses to the site; how did they feel about
different locations? What did they discover that most surprised them? Following their visit to St George’s, students worked with Trevor Wilson Design to explore how web-pages are designed and created; "what makes a successful web page"’

In addition to investigating the history of St George’s
Bloomsbury, participating students also explored the history
of the local area through a series of workshops (sketching,
artefact handling) and visits to other local heritage sites.
Students from Gospel Oak Primary School visited the
Foundling Museum. They took part in workshops (including
an art and craft workshop) exploring the history of the
Foundling Hospital using Hogarth’s print, Gin Lane, (where
you can clearly see the spire of St George’s Bloomsbury
rising above the buildings of the Rookery). Following their
visits to the Foundling Museum, Russell Square and
Bloomsbury Square, students compared the lives of those
living in Bloomsbury Square with the lives of those living in
Gin Lane to consider what life was like in this area nearly
three hundred years ago.

By the end of their project, the students had all designed two
complete webpages. The first contained their thoughts and
feelings about St George’s Bloomsbury past and present, and
the second compared what life was like for rich and poor in
Bloomsbury during the Georgian period. Students’ designs
were then translated by professional designers into two
pages for this website.
