Learning, Culture and Community around the Minet Estate

Talk exploring the history of education institutions that helped make the area around Myatt’s Fields a centre of learning and culture Explore the history of the schools, colleges and community institutions that helped make the Minet Estate and the area around Myatt’s Fields Park a centre of learning and culture. From Cormont Road School and Charles Edward Brooke School to St Gabriel’s Teacher Training College, this talk examines how education, creativity and community have shaped local life. Join Lambeth historian and local resident Tracey Gregory as she uncovers the story of the educational and cultural institutions established with the support of the Minet family in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Their legacy includes remarkable buildings and organisations that have nurtured some of the UK’s leading educators and artists. Discover the stories of pioneering men and women whose contributions span more than a century, and share your own memories and reflections during the Q&A session following the talk. All money raised through donations go to Brixton Society and other local causes.
