Скачать или смотреть The Geffrye Then & Now: The Playground & the Branson Coates Building

There was once a playground and open-air theatre behind the museum, used from the 1950s to 1990s. On this space today is the Geffrye’s Branson Coates wing, opened in 1998. It showcases the museum’s 20th century period rooms and learning spaces for families, schools and events. Listen to this podcast to hear a description from Mrs Karen Anderson of the playground that
used to be behind the museum, near Hoxton Overground Station, as well as responses from Emmanuel, Israel
and Francisco (15).

These podcasts were inspired by events in the Geffrye's and local history, and were created by students from Hackney UTC with local volunteers. They were part of the Centenary Celebrations youth heritage project at the Geffrye Museum in 2013-2014. All podcasts are © Geffrye Museum.
