Layers of London Records: The Crown Pub, the Lenin Memorial, Ludgate Circus, and the Horniman Museum
Description
This is the audio version of the blog post 'Layers of London records by Michael Mayes'. Michael is a volunteer with the Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project, and this post includes an introduction written by Fran Allfrey, the Courtauld Connects volunteer officer. It was first published on 26 June 2020. This audio version is read by Claudia Neagu, who is also a digitisation volunteer.
Layers of London is a website run by the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London. Layers of London allows anyone in the world to add photographs to a map of London, 'pinning' images, memories, and research about particular locations. Volunteers at the Courtauld have uploaded over 100 photographs to Layers of London. In this post, we share just four of Michael's favourite photographs: the Crown Pub, the Lenin Memorial, Ludgate Circus, and the Horniman Museum.
You can find the written version with the photographs on our blog https://blog.courtauld.ac.uk/digitalmedia/2020/06/26/layers-of-london-highlights-records-by-michael-mayes/
