Broadwater Farm: Transformed!
Leytonstone
E11 1HH
Speaker: Clasford Stirling MBE. How is it that a notorious housing estate later had a waiting list? In 1985, after Cynthia Jarrett’s death nearby when police raided her home, a riot took place; PC Blakelock was killed. Things had to change. Clasford, a life-long resident, has made huge contributions to the changes, creating a Youth Association, football coaching (making professional players), helping to unite residents (the Residents Association had been all-white on a multi-ethnic estate.) Broadwater Farm, run by LB Haringey, saw vast improvements physically, socially & economically. Clasford will explain how he & others achieved this miracle, & what it’s like to grow up & live there in 2025.

Book talk: Drax of Drax Hall with Paul Lashmar
London
N1 9DY
How One British Family Got Rich (and Stayed Rich) from Sugar and Slavery. Paul Lashmar will be joining us for an evening at Housmans to discuss his latest book, Drax of Drax Hall: How One British Family Got Rich (and Stayed Rich) from Sugar and Slavery. A brilliantly detailed and probing study of a how powerful British family came by their wealth through the worst kind of brutal, dehumanising violence.
With a forward by David Olusoga, this book, which spans 400 years and 18 generations, tells a story that has never been told. While all the British landed gentry profited from chattel slavery in the West Indies, the Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax family of Dorset pioneered it.
Advanced Booking Strongly Recommended.
