Generations explored the oral history of Corby residents especially older members of the community, many of whose families moved to the town to take up employment in its once thriving steel industry.
The project provided Corby's older residents to share their memories and experiences with local young people giving then an opportunity to learn about the dramatic changes Corby has undergone over the past 50-60 years from the people who lived through them.
The outputs of the project included interviews with local residents as well as songs and chants written in response to this oral history.

Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. "Generations" was made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we were able to engage local people of all ages with the heritage and history of Corby and give them an opportunity to respond creatively through music and the arts!
