 Liver & Lights No 65.  Clearance. 

(The view from Cressingham Gardens)



The images in this new Liver & Lights 

publication  are  of the 

Cressingham Gardens Estate 

and the  Boreraig cleared village on

 the  Isle of skye. 

The text  is of two  poems  comparing 

and contrasting  these two  places.  

The photographs are by 

Kathryn Round and  John Bently 

and the drawings are by 

John and Arthur Bently. 

(Arthur’s are generally the better ones…). 

Some of the drawings are of 

Arthur and his pals making 

hand made instruments, puppets 

and cardboard models of 

Cressingham  in order to perform 

at the two  fundraisiing 

benefits we have been involved 

with to raise money for the 

Save Cressingham fund. 

This book  is  a memorial to both 

those unforgettable events….




The first one, at 

Herne Hill Station Hall last 

November, also featured Kurdish 

Superstar Nawros Oramari

the amazing Bird Radio 

and the‘interesting’ bonesandtheaft. 

They  were devised  

and organised by  the indefatigable  Ken Jones….

Well done Ken! 

The second Happening in the Cressingham 

Rotunda in  on May 14th (

(This Saturday!!) 

featured Hippertronics and Black Rice  

alongside the Ashleys Fit Up 

puppet  show, and was the official 

launch point of this book, 

all proceeds from  which (after costs), 

we will donate to the fund to save 

Cressingham  Gardens Estate……..
