It’s been a busy fortnight for the Brick Lane 1978 project. Our new team of volunteers visited Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives and the Bishopsgate Institute to learn more about researching archives, before diving into an oral history training session. They’ll carry these new skills to the next stage of the project: identifying and interviewing original Brick Lane activists.
