Description

JOHN WALMSLEY Wester Hailes, 1979

JOHN WALMSLEY Wester Hailes, 1979 is a self-published book.

“In 1979 I had a grant from the Scottish Arts Council to live on the new Wester Hailes housing scheme in Edinburgh, work with the kids in the new Education Centre and wander the neighbourhood talking with and photographing the folks living there. It contains reminiscences from those who were there are the time is a celebration of the people and the period.” – John Walmsley
