This year’s Lambeth Archives Open Day was run on the theme of ‘festival’ and took place at the Minet Library, which houses the Lambeth Archives collection.
Talks, films, workshops and an exhibition of original art and photographs were on offer, plus local societies, stands and book stalls. Here’s some photos from my visit:

1872 races on New Park Road, Brixton!
I rather like the idea of a ‘Grand Fancy’!

The Lambeth Archives can be found at the Minet Library, 52 Knatchbull Road, London SE5 9QY.
