Photographic exhibition; Charlotte Bird, The Gallery, Steventon, Nov 26 until just before Christmas
9:00am Wednesday 19th November 2008
HERE may not be fairies at the bottom of the garden, but there are certainly lots in the Long Room at The Gallery, Steventon, from November 26 to just before Christmas.
Charlotte Bird’s stunning photographs recall the controversy of early last century, when cousins Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths allegedly photographed fairies at the bottom of their garden in Cottingley, west Yorkshire.
They fooled many experts with their pictures of enchanting little girls and dancing fairies.
Ms Bird made the trip to Cottingley Beck three years ago to relive the spirit of those times and produced many fairy photographs of her own which are on display at The Gallery.
It’s an enchanting display for the magical Christmas season.
