Black History Tour of West Green Road with Avril Nanton
Image
Meet: Costa Coffee, 3-7 West Green Rd, South Tottenham, London N15 5BX
During the 1960s the name Dyke and Dryden was unknown. By the 1970s they were one of the most famous names in the Tottenham area, opening a variety of shops, hairdressers and supplying Black women with the essential hair products that they needed.
This is just one of the many stories that West Green Road has to tell.
The bustling street has a rich and diverse history which is often overlooked. It has become home to a vibrant African and Caribbean community for decades and has played an important role in the development of Black British culture in the area.
Come and hear Avril Nanton tell the street's story.
The walk will last approximately 2 hours.
Book your free ticket via Avril's website.
Organised with Bruce Castle Museum & Archive, this tour is part of the Tottenham High Road Takeover Programme coming up, funded by the Hi CULTURE! project delivered by Haringey Council.
