Willesden Immigrants Trail is a project that highlights forgotten Jewish places in the wider Willesden area, sharing the fascinating stories of individuals from immigrant families who played a part in building this community in North West London.  30 local places are highlighted with short histories, and introductions to fascinating local characters who originated in Russia, Europe and further East.

This project was run by SharedCity CIC and I worked alongside writer, Caroline Bourne and Historian and Blue badge London guide, Irina Porter.

The project was funded by the Mayor of London's Diversity in the Public Realm fund which was set up to highlight the contribution of different communities around London.
