The Blackest Streets: The Life and Death of a Victorian Slum
Wednesday, 17 September 2008 at 7.00pm
Sarah Wise, author of The Italian Boy, will be joining us to read and discuss her latest book illuminating another fascinating story from East London's past.
The Old Nichol was a 'notorious fifteen-acre slum' in Shoreditch, on the site of which we now find the Boundary Estate centred around Arnold Circus. In the late nineteenth century this area was targeted for reform and Sarah 'explores the real lives behind the statistics....laying bear the social and political conditions that created and sustained this black hole...'.
Tickets £3 including wine, please call or drop in to book.
