Woodberry Down history project

WOODBERRY DOWN: WHAT IS YOUR STORY?

Woodberry Down Community Organisation (WDCO) is applying for funding for an oral history project – “Woodberry Down, the People’s Story” – and we would like your support and participation. We are looking for:

• Personal histories and experiences of those who have come to live in Woodberry Down, from the 1950s to the present day.
• Your high points and low points (if you had any!) of living here.
• How you came to live in Woodberry Down
• The people in the neighbourhood you remember best.

Eventually we hope to produce a book and exhibition. Right now we are looking for people who would be willing to:

• Tell us your memories of Woodberry Down
• Take part in the project by researching the history of the area or recording people’s memories
• Letting the project copy any photographs you have of Woodberry Down and the people who have lived here.

If you can help or would like to be involved contact WDCO at 6 Chattenden House, Woodberry Down Estate, London, N4 2SG or e-mail: wdhistory@hotmail.co.uk
