Working Class History Night (Uncovering Birkenhead’s Working Class History)

A FREE evening at the Stork Hotel in Birkenhead for the community to come together.

You don’t need to bring anything however if you have and would like to bring any personal archives, or work about Birkenhead and/or Working Class themes please do.

For this project we are looking for the local community to contribute their stories to uncover the working class history of our area. Throughout the project there will be input sessions, workshops, community co-building and a final community event to celebrate and showcase our local working class history.

The funding is from Historic England. It is part of Historic England’s Everyday Heritage Grants: Celebrating Working Class Histories. The new grant scheme was launched by Historic England earlier this year to support community-led projects and further the nation’s collective understanding of the past.

Attending the evening will also be some local artists who are going to work with us to create artworks based on the collective working class history of the area.
