A landmark does not have to be grand to matter. Sometimes it is the place everybody used as a meeting point.

Community halls have hosted meetings, dances, ceremonies, school events and the quiet administration of local life.

School traditions survive in memory because they were repeated, photographed and shared by whole groups.

Routes are remembered through stops, shops, corners, waiting places and the people who travelled them daily.

Before group chats, many communities relied on noticeboards, printed programmes and announcements after gatherings.
