Sevenoaks 2020: A photographic celebration of life and work in the town centre

People, Businesses and Buildings in the Town Centre 

Sevenoaks is 900 years old. What began as a cluster of market stalls at the junction of routes from north and south has developed into a compact but diverse and dynamic town centre of over 250 urban businesses, shops and services. From haberdashery to health care; coffee to computers; dentistry to dustbins; art to artichokes; jewellery to jazz; specs to sports-wear, it’s all there - and much more besides. But that’s far from all. The town centre offers conversations, chance encounters, meetings, wanderings, exercise, stimulation … This active geography and history is celebrated in an exhibition of photographs of the town’s activities, the buildings in which they take place, and their owners and staff – the people who make them work. With photographs made between late 2019 and early 2020, the exhibition was organised and created by Victoria Granville-Baxter,  Elizabeth Purves and Roger Lee.
