Banff to Bankhead

Bankhead was a mining town that was vacated mainly due to the miners strike of 1922 . Over the course of next 2 years, many of the houses in Bankhead were put on wheels and moved 8 kms away to the adjacent town of Banff. This quickly transformed Bankhead from a thriving community to a ghostown. For this project, I made smalll wooden houses in Banff and walked with them to Bankhead.
