Wordsworth’s Heritage is a photographic work displayed as a billboard across 25 UK urban sites. Featuring William Wordsworth’s profile, it blends the iconic ‘Lake District’ with a group of contemporary Black walkers, challenging notions of history and heritage.

Wordsworth’s Heritage is a photographic work and was originally presented as a billboard image on 25 urban sites around the UK. The image takes the form of a mass-produced tourist postcard. It shows the profile of William Wordsworth, 19th-century English Poet Laureate. Wordsworth and his poetry are icons closely linked with the Lake District. A group of contemporary Black walkers transforms the ‘Romantic’ landscape and ideas of History and Heritage.
