Echoes of Blackburn Meadows (EBM) is a forthcoming sonic art-walk, which re-animates the landscapes of the former Blackburn Meadows Power Station from 1921 to the present day.

The walk will eventually comprise around fifteen solar-powered transmitters, which will broadcast sounds and spoken via an FM frequency. The transmitters will be hidden along the two-mile route of public footpaths that now surround the site of the former power statio

The EBM team has already launched one prototype transmitter thanks to a research and development grant from the Arts Council and is working alongside the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) to make the pathways cleaner, safer and more accessible for all visitors to the area.

To track down the prototype transmitter, or to contribute your memories of the coal-fired Blackburn Meadows power station, you will need to contact the team on info@sheffieldelectricity.com or telephone Project Co-Ordinator Jennifer Rich on 07841 869882.
