Artefact: Warehouse plan.
Location found: Main entrance large roundabout opposite pub.
Date: 28.09.14
Time: 29.08 minutes.
I remember casually walking across the road and finding a map that was partially hidden by the shrubs. A guy was walking his dog nearby. I recall the sun. Thick untended straw-like grass.
The map was produced by archetech.co.uk (a Sheffield based architectural and interior design practice operating throughout the UK according to a google search).
Client: Cloverleaf Restaurants LTD. (This is the company that runs the new Beechwood Farm pub).
It is a plan of ‘Finishes to first floor.’

There is hand written text accompanied by pink felt tip which forms part of the key.
The text reads: ‘ACOUSTIC WALLS.

I wonder how the map ended up on the roundabout? A sudden gust of wind took it from the hands of a site construction worker? Blown from a bin?
I feel like a snoop. A detective. Researcher. Making connections as I investigate the site. The map has been faded by the elements. Torn at the edges. A treasure map on the roundabout island.
