Guided walk and discussion exploring public artworks from the St Pancras Housing estates. Local residents formed a community museum and are recovering artworks lost from the area - over 100 ceramic pieces, which are appearing at auctions worldwide. Through crowdfunding, four works have been bought back and returned.
The walk follows a new heritage trail highlighting working-class voices in Somers Town during a time of rapid change. The trail has digital AR elements, narration and new contemporary sculptures reimagining local heritage. The walk ends with a discussion on heritage and place at the museum, where eight original works are displayed.
