Stevie Ronnie‘s creative writing workshop working with local people at Bensham Grove used archival material about the visitors to the house during the Spence Watson’s time there, a number of letters found in Tyne & Wear Archives and the Robinson Library Special Collection. He also researched the quotes from poetry by Elizabeth Barret Browning (Aroura Leigh, 1856) and Robert Herrick, (To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time, c. 1648) that can be found above two of the fireplaces in the house.
