In this brief we have been given a deceptively simple task to initiate. We must all find at least three seats to punch upon for an hour and extensively document what we see, hear, smell, think and feel.
The Chevin
I visited four sites in total, firstly I chose to traverse up the Chevin, which is a ridge that overlooks my Otley. I decided that due to the fairly waring climb involved with walking up the hill that I would enjoy sitting in piece, however I soon found that it was brutally cold and exposed to the elements.
Despite the discomfort I was surprised to find that I had indadvertedly stayed upon the hill for just under 2 hours.
Otley Courthouse - A Prison Cell
Quite the opposite of the barren outcrop, the cell is a claustrophobic enclave. The cell block has been renovated to it's original look in the mid 1800s.
The gleaming modernist building is unreservedly concerned with comfort, this is apparent with the innumerable chairs, stools and benches which populate the site. I chose to sit in one of the more popular rooms in order to survey the passing visitors.
Stephen H. Smiths' Garden Centre
I had initially expected an expansive section devoted to outdoor furniture, however I was disappointed to find that the deck-chairs and benches were crammed next to the packaged seed section. This however turned out to be quite an interesting area to sit due to the proximity to the cafe and car-park entrance.
