Stepping back to explore dockland’s communities
Guided heritage walk around Silvertown and Royal Victoria, Newham
Tuesday 9th June
15.00 - 16.00
Free
A guided walk, discovering the changing urban landscape of Silvertown and Royal Victoria and its impact on communities, and how spaces such as the Tate Institute took on a rising significance as a place of social belonging, for locals, isolated by reduced transport links and factory shift working.
Find out about the different work communities and how the Dock’s closure, not only transformed the area, but led to activism, People’s Plan, community innovation, artistry, and the uniting and dividing of residents over City Airport. We will bring these stories to life by sharing sound clips and images from our Hidden-History archive.
