Public History Group Saturday 24 January 2015
The first session of 2015 is:
Love they neighbour: inter-neighbour relations and the syntax of complaint in early 20th century London.
‘In researching the history of my flat-a one-bedroomed former tenement designed by Octavia Hill in 1903-I stumbled upon some letters of complaint in an archive. The letters revealed the main concerns and antagonisms between the neighbours in the early 20th century.’
