Hidden Traces is a sound journey discovering the streets around The Place. A self-guided tour for all ages tracing the many identities of the ever-changing neighborhood between Euston, St. Pancras and Kings Cross Station in London.Choreographer and Urban Historian Gabriele Reuter and composer Mattef Kuhlmey have been gathering memories and stories of the streets surrounding The Place Theatre by interviewing the people who have lived and worked in the neighbourhood.

With the support of The British Library and The Place they have been building an audio map of how the area has changed, from the war to present day. Many local residents and establishments have been involved in the project, adding their narrative to the layers of history in these streets.

snudge

The first sense of snudging refers to being cheap, stingy, miserly, and Scrooge-like. Such penny-pinching behavior isn’t associated with great posture, and perhaps that’s why the word later referred to walking with a bit of a stoop. An English-French dictionary from 1677 captures the essence of snudgery: “To Snudge along, or go like an old Snudge, or like one whose Head is full of business.” Snudging is a little like trudging. Credits to Mark Peters.
