Contributors to this site and other comrades did a series of walks last year. They went really well and we had a great bunch of interesting people come along and contribute. So we are at it again!
It’s a great opportunity to take radical historty of the screen and back onto the streets. And maybe have a pint afterwards.
Put these dates in your diaries and tell friends…
Back in January I wrote a brief review of Joe Thomas’ excellent novel White Riot, which uses material from this site to paint a vivid picture of Hackney residents and police in the 1970s and 80s.
The author will be discussing his book at Stoke Newington Literary Festival this Sunday 6pm at the radical venue of Newington Green Meeting House.
Tickets are £5 and some are still available.
Other events this weekend include HIstory of Stokey and a session on working men’s clubs vs private members clubs. Full programme and other information can be found at:
