Step into the story of Campsbourne Estate, shaped by the people who call it home. This resident-led local history project explores the evolving natural and built environment of Hornsey since the first streets were laid in 1868.

Through themes that matter to the community -childhood, migration, activism, and the rich world of gossip, myths, and rumours -the exhibition combines then and now in a lively, personal way with annotated maps, photographs and personal objects alongside powerful oral histories and first-hand accounts from residents.

On Saturday, take a deeper dive by interacting with our digital resource, created with UCL’s MemoryMapper.

The event builds on our heritage project with the Open University and UCL (MemoryMapper) and is part of the London Festival of Architecture.

There will also be two resident-led walking tours of the estate at 11am and 12pm on the Saturday. Book your free tickets here.
