5th August - Guest speaker Paul McGarrity from the Museum of London Archaeology

Speaking about the excavations at St James's Gardens in Euston.

Did you know that one of the biggest archaeological digs in the UK recently took place in Euston?

The archaeological excavation at St James's Gardens undertaken by MOLA Headland for the HS2 rail line was the largest investigation of an 18th/19th century burial ground ever undertaken in the UK. It presented archaeologists with an unprecedented opportunity to study the population of London during a period of rapid expansion and change for the city.

Join representatives from MOLA Headland for a short talk about the history of the site as well as discussing some of the recent findings.

If you would like to attend, please contact Souad Abdellaoui.

Poetry Reading - Every Monday 2.00pm - 4.00pm

The Poetry Reading session has become popular and we have heard several poetry recitals learning a little about each poet. Choose your favourite poem to be recited to the group, discuss what it means to you and listen to other guest’s favourites. Each week there will be a theme for poetry selections and attendees will choose one classic and one contemporary poem.

This group will meet via ZOOM.

Please send your selected poem to Souad so that we can share with the group beforehand.
