For all Widnes residents this is a great and fun project to be involved with whilst we’re all in lock down! Great work by Catalyst Science Discovery Centre7 Smells in 7 Days – a new and unusual challenge from Catalyst! As part of an Arts Council England project we are working with artist @katemclean to ‘map’ the smells of Widnes over 200 years and produce a series of ‘Smell-Maps’ for an exhibition entitled ‘Two Centuries of Stink’ when we re-open to the public.

Thanks to help from our local community we have historical data about what people remember about the smells of Widnes in the past. Now we need your help to record current day smells with our ‘7 Smells in 7 Days’ diary challenge.

Starting on Friday 10th April we’re asking you to record 1 smell a day, from your window, in your garden, on your commute to work or on your daily exercise (observing Government guidelines on social distancing of course!). Tell us what the smell was, the location, strength (1 weak - 7 v strong), duration (1 quick whiff – 7 lingers forever).

We’ll remind you each day with a snippet of info about the historical data that we’ve collated so far – they may jog memories from yours or your families past too.

See here for more information about the project and for details of where to send your results.

Thanks for taking part!
