Evening of Poetry at the Red Cross

This evening of poetry was aired at the restored Red Cross Gardens at Southwark, originally laid on Octavia Hill's commission, to accompany her housing for the poor.

Themes of mental health, the dispossesed and Saint George were prominent ( see www.into.org.uk/mentalfightclub ). There was a good range and variety of local people present.

Youths on the adjoining road struck up with thier motorbikes part way through.
