Tickets are £10.00 each. Funds raised will go to the 'Save Jericho Wharf' campaign, to end the scandal of Jericho’s canalside dereliction brought about by 20 years of housing developer greed and incompetence.
Representatives of the Jericho Wharf Trust, which brings together local community groups, will give an update on progress, followed by a Q&A.
The image above is taken from the 1974 film, when the wharf was owned by a public body, British Waterways, and leased to a working boatyard. Below, is the site 30 years later.
