09.06.2024 – Stoke Newington Literary Festival

I had a great time giving a talk about the history of local street names as part of the Stoke Newington Literary Festival. The main hall in the Mildmay Club was completely packed! It’s great to see this level of interest in our local history. Fascinating and thought provoking questions from people in the audience at the end. See you again next year!

Here are the 145 slides I presented.

It wasn’t easy picking just 12 street names to focus on for the talk
