Watchet by James Whitaker

Research for our magazine has taken me down some fascinating routes. Yesterday, at the end of our family holiday we visited the new East Quay building in Watchet, UK. We go to Watchet quite often but this was our first trip since the building had finished.

On the drive back to London I discovered Laura Broderick’s podcast where she talks to Georgie Grant from the Onion Collective about their journey to create something for their town. It’s a brilliant story! Give it a listen if you can.
