Five Short Interviews

FurzedownVoices at the Furzedown Festival

We will be involved in two events at the Furzedown Festival:

1. Saturday 12th June. 11.00a.m. Helen Long's local history walk around Furzedown will finish in Seely Hall where participants will be able to see a display of the work of the oral history project, buy postcards and listen to recordings made with local residents. Meet Helen at the corner of Furzedown Drive and Road, outside the Lodge.

2. Saturday 3rd July 10.00a.m. to 3.00p.m. At the Toy Museum for a Day we will be setting up our recording equipment to capture people's memories of the games they played and the toys they played with. Also another chance to see the display and listen to recordings. Seely Hall, Chillerton Road SW17 9BE
