A guided trip to the London Museum Docklands, exploring the stories woven into the history of London's docks, from the slave trade and river policing to local communities and dockers' fight for workers' rights. It is part of Exploring History through Creativity, an adults-only series, with under-18s allowed only when supervised. This Halloween outing uncovers hidden histories and forgotten voices lingering in the Docklands' past. It is organised by Poplar Union and builds on their recent collage workshop.
