Description
The MyHouseMyStreet initiative is a collaborative, community-based project that aims to offer detailed information about the past residents of a street and the jobs they undertook, together with an in-depth street history of the local area. Following the popular response to the exhibition that took place in Waterloo Street as part of BHOD 2011, we invite you to join us for a guided walk led by one of the street research team. Come along to discover the fascinating story of the streets development, the people who have inhabited the street between the mid-19th Century and the 1970’s and gain an insight into Brighton’s unique history. We will also be distributing leaflets explaining how to undertake similar research for your own home or street (including information about expert-led study sessions in the Brighton History Centre, see separate listing).
