We will visit some of the film locations, discover some of the history of the buildings and hear anecdotes from some of the residents.
This will be followed by a commemorative activity in Pullens Gardens where we will celebrate the efforts of the people who helped to save what remains of the estate from demolition in the mid 1980s and the counter culture that grew out of that, some which remains to this day.
