Episode Synopsis

Introducing Memento Mori, a soundscape documentary series from Better Songs Productions. Produced by Rosie Parsons and Verity Watts.

Memento Mori creates sonic stories from the work of photographer Peter Mitchell, who captured the demolition of Quarry Hill flats in the late 1970’s.

Built in the 1930s in Leeds, the flats were the UK’s largest social housing complex at the time. Mitchell’s book Memento Mori collected fragments of their history alongside images of the flats’ demolition.

Funded by Leeds City College Arts Fund.
