About Remembering Smog: Community Workshop on Air Pollution
All are welcome to join this community workshop on air pollution past, present, and future. The workshop will include short talks from Tudor Allen (Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre) and Kathy Davies (Historian, British Library) about the archives and histories of London smog in living memory.
You will be invited to remember and share your own stories and experiences of smoke, smuts and noxious gases throughout your life so far, as well as your thoughts on clearing the air we breathe today. Items from the archives will also be on display.
Free tea, coffee, and biscuits.
Please note, this event takes place at the Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre.
