These are the first outcomes of a four-year-long national  Cultural Programme led by Historic England, in partnership with the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England.

Since last autumn, eight contemporary writers have worked with their local communities to explore the everyday magic of high streets, creating seven new short stories, or 'High Street Tales'. Today the 'High Street Tales' are published as an ebook which features an introduction by writer Andy Miller (author of 'The Year of Reading Books Dangerously'), and is available via the Historic England website. The stories draw on local legend and memory to capture the everyday magic of the high street.
