SCENARIO: ‘A historical re-enactment company is engaged to stage the Peterloo Massacre in the ground of the Hall.

In the evening they will be billeted in tents on the lawn.

Within the hall the itself a documentary team will re-enact the actual billeting of civil war soldiers.’ To the right is an image of four hand-drawings I completed for this scenario to show how I would use Ordsall Hall to re-enact the Peterloo Massacre.

These were created using black ink on hand-made paper sown together.
