Kennington Park - Victorian generosity or an enclosure for the purposes of social control?

Dr Stefan Szczelkun, a local amateur historian with an interest in working class history and a committee member of the Friends of Kennington Park, promises a talk to challenge some of the things we may have been taught about Victorian philanthropy. The Park, formerly a Common with its own rich history, was created exactly 150 years ago. Members of the Friends of Kennington Park will also outline their plans for the future.

Light refreshments
Everyone welcome
No admission, but a £2 donation is invited
