7.30pm: Brockley Voices presentation

Over the past 18 months the Brockley Voices oral history project has amassed over 8 hours of audio interviews with local residents. Together they constitute a fascinating insight into life in and around Brockley over the past 70 years. We will be making a short presentation on the project with a selection of the recordings.

We are always looking for new people who would like to get involved in the project, and suggestions for potential interviewees with a story to tell… Join us and find out more the project.
