Spirit of a Place is one of the spin offs from Sketchbook Still Social. The project has highlighted the rich visual, often overlooked, history of the immediate surroundings of Silver Street and has challenged artists to interpret the buildings at the heart of the Culture Quarter in Bury. In recognising that place plays an important part in our personal identity, we are re-connecting people with our town centre in a way that celebrates our urban heritage. These streets are not just places to shop or be entertained in, but they encapsulate a rich and long evolving history. Preserving and promoting the spirit of this special place is an important part of developing our history and keeping this heritage alive.

Spirit of a Place includes a variety of new artworks, historical photographs, documents and material from Bury Archives, as well as paintings and museum objects and from Bury Art Museum Collections.
