Interesting walk around Oxburgh Estate today, not much on site information about the estate’s colonial past…a quick google shows some ties to slavery in Montserrat, I wonder if there’s been any more research? @corinne_fowler @fatimamanji #HiddenHeritage @ColonialCountr1

So, Dr Bowman, where were the Indians on D-Day? Good question, and very un-researched. This🧵is a collection of the leads I’ve come across in the last few years. Please share your stories if you know more... #DDay80

It has been such a wonderful experience collaborating with UCL on this project! A personal highlight of using the bike was speaking to people at Black Pride who told me about the event’s history, and its importance for LGBTQIA+ people seeking sanctuary in the U.K. @UCLHistory

There are so many stories in East London and I’m so excited that I have been able to create a wonderful project touching on just some of East London’s heritage, creating Newham Archive’s biggest ever oral history collection, & strong, new connections to spark future projects ✨

Excitement @UCLEast as The Voices of East Bank training day kicks off. This Heritage Lottery-funded project aims to create oral histories from the East End, starting with an exploration of Cockney heritage and the diversity of language.
