Projects
Willesden Local History Society
I have been involved with the Willesden Local History Society since 2000. I am currently Chair and Journal Editor. As well as editing, designing and organising the printing of the Journal, I regularly research and write articles on local history. I also create and conduct local history tours and present talks. For the latest events and dates, see the calendar on the home page.
