Fwolk Zine Issue One
£7
Welcome to issue one of fwolk, a zine devoted to Northern folk and folklore.
The history of the Lake District is more than Wordsworth, the Romantic poets and Beatrix Potter. Our ‘wild’ and ‘natural’ places are not untouched by industrialisation, and that process goes back thousands of years. We spoke to archaeologist Steve Dickinson to find out more about the hidden history of the fells.
Other hidden things are revealed in this issue. Freediver Angus Hosking is on a mission to clear up the underwater places of the Lake District. As well as collecting submerged trash, the treasures he finds – from lost mobile phones to Victorian coins – tell the social history of the Lakes.
We celebrate midsummer and commune with our pagan ancestors (and some modern-day pagans) at Castlerigg Stone Circle. And we take a psychogeographic deep dive into the ebb and flow of human history with writer Gareth Rees.
Plus, screaming skulls! And we ask deep questions, like if an island doesn’t exist, can you swim around it?
40 pages. Printed on recycled paper.
Size: A5 approx. 21x14.8cm.
