As part of the Know Your Place festival, The National Archives is running a local history weekend for local people in the Kew and Richmond area, in partnership with the Richmond Local History Society and the Kew Society. Our Society will have a bookstall throughout the event, which runs from 11am to 4pm on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 October.
The National Archives’ publicity says:
“Join us to discover fascinating local stories of residents from 100 years ago – the refugees from the Russian revolution, the showman, the artists, the female publicans and so many more!
“Carry out your own research to discover who lived in your house or street with free access to the 1921 Census and add your own house to our special 1921 local map of Kew.
“With family activities and pop-up talks, tasty treats in our café from The Original Maids of Honour, unique gifts and books in our shop, and an opportunity to enjoy our park and wildlife, there’s something for visitors of all ages.”
