Historic England is calling on people to share their photographs of life in the coronavirus lockdown.

It is the first time since the Second World War that the public have been asked to capture a moment in time to be saved in the Historic England Archive. Images must be submitted between Wednesday and Tuesday, with 100 of them to then enter the archives.

Ten contemporary artists from across the country have been chosen to produce special images over the week alongside the call to the public.We hope this project inspires creativity and reflection, allowing the public to create a unique time capsule for the future .

Claudia Kenyatta, head of regions at Historic England, said: “We are facing one of the most extraordinary moments in living memory.

“During this time of necessary lockdown restrictions, we are asking the public and some of our most talented contemporary artists to help us record history, whilst being careful to abide by the Government’s social distancing measures.
