This Poisoned Isle-St Agnes, Cornwall. Sept 2018

This is the first of 10 planned pop-up exhibitions that are traveling throughout the UK 2018-2020. First off is The Miners and Mechanics Institute at St Agnes, Cornwall. Located nearby, Nancekuke was the main site for nerve gas production in the 1950s. Closing some 5 years later many of the contaminated buildings and equipment were dumped in quarries and mine shafts on and around the site, where they remain today. It is now an active military radar station, rumored to be part of the GCHQ, the British intelligence-gathering agency. Presently, the Nancekuke Remediation Project is currently assessing the site to determine what is actually buried there.
