Making Inroads: A Story of Putting Down Roots

25 June to 7 July 2010
Islington’s Central Library, 2 Fieldway Crescent, London N5 1PF

What brings people to settle or work on Holloway Road in north London, and how do they put down roots and make it their home? The Making Inroads project has been finding out.

Since March 2009 a team of oral historians, photographers and volunteers has interviewed 40 people who have come to live and work on or near Holloway Road from another country or another part of the UK. Participants have been photographed with an object that connects them to the place they are from.

The participants come from all over the world and the UK and from all walks of life. A restaurant owner from Ecuador, a tattooist from Kent, a community worker from the West Indies, an urban farmer from Wales and masseur from India are just some of those who have got involved.

Making Inroads is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
