The Tale of John Clare is a short video I made with Chester green badge guide David Atkinson who leads Dark Chester walking tours for the Chester Heritage Festival. In this extract, he describes the gruesome fate of John Clare, a man sentenced to death in 1801 for stealing a loaf of bread! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KZxPopCXgDI&feature=youtu.be

#Introduction - Starting out on Mastodon seems strange, but I remember the same feeling back on Twitter all those years ago.

I'm a #photographer, video producer and former media agency CEO who lives in #Chester #Cheshire #England. I have a passion for the natural world and have campaigned and fundraised for a number of causes.

Locally I'm lucky to be a lifetime member at #ChesterZoo and dedicate free time as part of the #ChesterHeritageFestival steering committee.
