Created as part of the project it is an interactive way
for people to discover more about the local area, whether resident or visitor.
Led by the Reading Hack, a group of inspiring young people aged from 11-16, and in conjunction with Telford & Wrekin Library Service, a number of elements bring together the whole Once Upon a Telford project, which has five main themes:
Telford Town Centre, Telford Town Park,
Chelsea Gardens, Wonderland and Transport
One of the most exciting elements being launched is an app which enables the user to follow the interactive map on a trail through the town park and gardens and experience the area first hand, with additional content becoming available the more the area is explored.
The app also explores each of the five
main themes, and features photos and information about the development and
history of each area.
To complement the app, the group also created
a giant pop-up book with the help of artist Katy Alston, as well as other
related items that were created with Fablab at Enginuity using methods such as
3d and laser printing.
“It’s fantastic that Once Upon a
Telford is now being officially launched and everyone will be able to see the
culmination of all that hard work, as well as take part and enjoy all the
elements of the project.
“I am proud of what the group has
achieved and hope residents and visitors alike download the app which will
bring to life the centre of Telford in a way it never has been before.”
The app has been developed by local
software company Brozelabs and is available to download now on iOS and android
phones and devices.
