Current research practice-led research explores how often-overlooked heritage infrastructures in the North East of England might be reconfigured to provide alternative, regionally focused solutions to the global climate crisis.  This research is bounded within broader, cross disciplinary explorations of alternative methods of farming, land occupation and socio-political strategies.
