'A Street Door of Our Own': A Short History of Life on an LCC Estate
Description
Organised by community worker Jim Cowan, this pamphlet describes life on the Honor Oak Estate in South London. Alongside photographs, twelve elderly residents reflect on estate life in the 1930s via transcribed interviews. The residents used press interest about the publication to ensure the council upheld their promise to build a community centre on the estate.
