ABOUT NEWHAM HERITAGE WEEK 2018

​

Newham Heritage Week 2018 runs from the 8th to the 18th of November. It is all about celebrating and learning from the experiences of people who have lived and worked in Newham. This year we will focus on anniversaries to tell Newham's story, looking at 100 years since the end of WWI and the women's Suffrage movement; and 70 years since the Windrush brought Caribbean migrants to Britain, many of whom came to work in the newly founded NHS. Eastside Community Heritage have been commissioned by Newham Council to provide a series of multimedia workshops to young people, enabling them to reflect on Newham's past, present, and future. This website and its contents have been designed and produced by the young people of Newham who attended these workshops.
