A Local Historian in Context: An Environmental Portrait

This is Will.

He’s a local historian, but this portrait isn’t really about history in the academic sense. It’s about continuity.

Will stands in the town he knows intimately, not posed against it but comfortably within it. The buildings behind him aren’t decorative backdrops; they’re part of his daily landscape, places whose stories he carries and retells.

Shopfronts change, signs fade, businesses come and go — but the street itself remains, and so does the memory of what it has been.
