Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic we have been interviewing Prestonians to capture their experience of lockdown as part of our living city archive.

Meet Michael, chairman of a construction company. He talks about his new appreciation of green space in Preston, missing office life and the economic impact of the pandemic.

This video is a selection of Michael’s thoughts, opinions and comments during the pandemic.

As part of the project artist Luke Richards photographed some of the interviewees and below you can see the artwork he created from Michael’s portrait.

The Living City project is produced by They Eat Culture, & supported by the Community Lottery Fund & Arts Council England.
