Description
B&CLHS Talk Monday 16th December, 7.30pm
An illustrated talk by Ishwari Giga, Curator at Gunnersbury Park Museum, who grew up locally. Passionate about social history and contemporary curating, she co-ordinated this project, funded by Historic England. Focusing on Firestone and Trico in Brentford and AEC in Southall, volunteers, former workers and young film-makers together assembled the content for new web pages. These show how the growth and decline of heavy industry has shaped West London: https://tinyurl.com/2kn3dd2j
