Ghostly old photos – PEOPLE'S MUSEUM

Ghostly images of old Somers Town recreated in place…taken on a cold night in October.

Here are the results of our walk – the images were created in situ by a ‘pixelstick’ tech developed by the UCL Bartlett Centre of Visual Spatial analysis – thanks to Duncan Hayes and Tom Bolton.

Enjoy!
