We recently received confirmation from the Heritage Lottery Fund that they will be funding this oral history project. Thanks to HLF and also to the RBKC City Living: Local Living fund and the councillors of Notting Dale, St Helens and Dalgarno wards for their support.
We are now very busy working out logistics with Barlby Primary School and setting up the reminiscence group which will be run by local historian Maggie Tyler. We are looking for older people in the area who can come to Barlby Primary School to meet the children. If you would like to get involved please visit the project website www.nwkenstories.org.uk and contact Ken MacDonald through this.
Soon the young film makers will take over updating this blog and will be keeping a diary of it throughout with words and photos so come back soon.
An oral history of NW Kensington, explored by local children, told by local people with a long history in the area.
