As part of Heritage Open Days we will be hosting a screening of the film Empathy & Eternity and talk with its director. Join us for a screening, discussion and exhibition of Empathy & Eternity, which follows, the moving story of a British child's WWII evacuation - a former LCT-7074 owner in the 1970s - and how it shaped the rest of his life, as navigated by his son on a pilgrimage for answers and closure a decade after his death.  The film examines his traumatising departure from Liverpool in 1939 and the incredible stories of discovery and nature in the local places he stayed and people he stayed with. It also retells the dramas that played out between his adoptive family and mother at home, the wider local historical environment in which this drama unfolded, and the passing of the torch across generations as his son embarks on a pilgrimage in his footsteps a decade after his death.  A directorial debut from north west creative Cameron Evans, the research for and production of the film was supported by many members of local communities. Access will be given after the talk to the LCT 7074, the last surviving landing craft tank that took place in the Normandy landings. Geroge Evans with his business partner Colin in the 1970s, 'Landfall' the LCT 7074 can be seen in the background.
