To conclude the 2024 Bicentenary Year of the great Victorian architect, George Edmund Street, the Victorian Society is hosting a Christmas party and hybrid talk, given by Professor Neil Jackson, at its headquarters, 1 Priory Gardens, Bedford Park.
Professor Jackson’s talk will review the great range of events which the Society, often in association with Street’s church of St James the Less, Pimlico, has held throughout the year. Running from the introductory talk given by Peter Howell in March and the launch of Geoff Brandwood’s book, George Edmund Street, the following month, through to the final event, a visit to All Saints’, Putney Common, in November, the talk will review the highs and, indeed, the lows of the programme. The talk will also take a sometimes quizzical look at themes which have emerged throughout the year and to which this architect’s name gives such resonance: street names; street numbers; street people; etc.
So please join us for this Street Party to wrap up a very successful year.
Attendees can either watch the talk online, at £6 a ticket, or a small number of people can attend the talk which is £10 a ticket.
Venue: The Victorian Society, 1 Priory Gardens, London, W4 1TT
All attendees will be sent a recording of the talk.
