HISTORY NEVER STOPS: THE CONTINUING STORY OF ARNOLD CIRCUS

Talk by Historian Sarah Wise

Sunday 18th July 2010
Drawing on research from her recent book on the history of the Old Nichol, The Blackest Streets: The Life and Death of a Victorian Slum, 2009, as well as previously unpublished archive material, Sarah Wise takes us on a fascinating journey through the social history of the London County Council’s Boundary Street Estate.
