‘I Remember: Exeter’s Memory of the Covid-19 Pandemic’ is an audiobook created by Professor David Tollerton (University of Exeter) in association with Exeter City Council and the Mayoralty. It draws together collective memories of the pandemic.

Full details about the project are available here: https://sites.exeter.ac.uk/exeterpandemicmemory/i-remember-exeters-memory-of-the-covid-19-pandemic/

The contributions were gathered from people across Exeter in January 2025. They were collected and edited by David Tollerton using a model devised by Alec Finlay and Joe Brainard. The audiobook is read by Leah Lawford.

They are varied in their emotions and content, and some may be difficult to hear. But we think that they’re so important to be shared.

The project is tied to the fifth anniversary of the first lockdown, and associated with the rededication of a memorial tree and plaque in Northernhay Gardens. The rededication ceremony took place on 23 March 2025.
