Eastside Stories

As part of Disability History Month, Eastside Community Heritage took to the streets of East London with an exhibition about post war employment for those with disabilities. In the podcast we hear stories from those who worked at Remploy and Newco, and ask what sort of employment those who are disabled today can hope to find. Thanks to all those who spoke to us openly and honestly about their personal experiences with disability.

Welcome to the Eastside Community Heritage podcast, bringing you stories from our archive of over 2000 oral histories and thousands of photographs. School, whether primary school or senior school, is more than just a place for many of us- it is a marker of time we use to measure our early lives, a space we had to learn and grow, a reminder of how our identity developed before we were really people. This is why commonplace moments, however fleeting, stay with us well into adulthood. This week, we hear from school kids, past and present, and their experiences in the state education system. We hear from children of the 50s, ‘60s, ‘80s, and 00’s about their experiences of school and answer the question, what does ‘Getting an education mean’?
