Medway Moving Memories

Borstal Street 1940’s: thanks to Medway Archive and Local Studies Centre

As Outreach project Coordinator for Rochester Film Salon, Sarah Hehir secured funding for an intergenerational Arts and Heritage Project which will run from March 26th to April 1st.

Children from the Pilgrim Primary School will make a documentary and an animated film whilst learning about local history and developing the skills required to organise and manage a community event.

They will be joined by residents of Sheridan Court and members of the wider community.

If you have photos, artefacts or memories of Borstal and Rochester that we could use, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact Sarah on hehirsarah@yahoo.co.uk or post your ideas and memories to 49 Borstal Street. We would also love you to come and see the film premier at Borstal Community Day on July 9th.
