The history and memories of the<br />
soon to be demolished Chandless<br />
estate is being documented in an<br />
arts exhibition this April.<br />
Chandless lives on<br />
An exhibition featuring work by<br />
two artists is set to show the<br />
memories of families living on a<br />
central <strong>Gateshead</strong> estate.<br />
‘Chandless Lives’ by Sharon Bailey<br />
and Robert Soden is the culmination<br />
of a year long project to celebrate<br />
the history of the Chandless estate.<br />
The exhibition will be held at The<br />
Gallery, <strong>Gateshead</strong> Central Library<br />
from 25 April to 18 May and<br />
feature Robert’s paintings and<br />
sketches, Sharon’s photographs of<br />
residents with their memories and<br />
stories and a history of the estate.<br />
The current Chandless Estate was<br />
built in the 1960s to replace<br />
terraces cleared in the 1950s.<br />
The whole area is currently being redeveloped<br />
and the majority of<br />
tenants have now been re-housed<br />
or are in the process of finding new<br />
homes.<br />
The project was funded through<br />
the Local Community Fund and<br />
managed by <strong>Gateshead</strong> Council’s<br />
Arts Development Team.<br />
