Evelyn’s Roots Chapter One

One of our audio storywalks, created in collaboration with Teatro Vivo- Evelyn’s Roots tells stories both true and imagined of people who have laid down their roots in Deptford over the last 400 years.

Meet Thankfull Sturdee, one of Britain’s first press photographers who was born on Evelyn Street, hear about the Gut Girls, discover Oluadah Equiano’s epic journey, find out what happens on Marathon Day in Deptford and many other stories as we celebrate the remembered and forgotten people who may have lived in the area.

This podcast blends fact and fiction to bring the remarkable history of these local streets to life.
