Chapel Street Park – Portrait of the Park

Produced by Levenshulme Old Library

Sound design by Oscilloscope

Tucked behind houses and running alongside the railway, Chapel Street Park is a small, open space with a quiet kind of presence - a place of memory and movement.

In this portrait, we hear reflections from writer Hette Phillips and a local volunteer, each offering their own perspective on the park’s atmosphere, its role in everyday life, and the connections that form quietly in shared spaces.

Part of You Are Here, a podcast from Levenshulme Old Library featuring five original short stories, soundscapes, and portraits inspired by Levenshulme’s parks and green spaces.

Produced by Levenshulme Old Library, commissioned by The Space and supported by Arts Council England
