Harold Hill: A People's History

the authors

- I have just read all the Harold Hill site and enjoyed all aspects of it; mind you, before I went to it I thought it was going to be about that comedian Harry Hill - I'm glad it wasn't. In some ways it reminded me of Corby where I spent my teenage years.

Bill Drummond, author of Bad Wisdom, 45 and K Foundation Burn a Million Quid.

- It's wonderful to see the interest in people writing and reading their own histories rather than having them imposed "from above".

Gilda O'Neill, author of My East End and Our Street: East End Life in the Second World War.

- If I had had any of this sort of evidence I would undoubtedly have included it in my book

Alison Ravetz, author of Council Housing and Culture: A History of a Social Experiment.

- Celebrates the history of a post-war council estate to the east of Romford in Essex and is full of energy and punch. Its author Andy Walpole is not afraid to address issues and acknowledges the political and religious allegiances of some of Harold Hill's leading community activists.

	the people - Great web site. About time someone done the "Hill" proud. - Brilliant job. Congratulations on the site. You have done wonderful work. - I've managed a very quick look and think it makes a great start... Well done, a great representation of Harold Hill that helps to contradict the stereotypes! - I've just had a look at your website and I must say you are doing a fantastic job! We are hoping to come over next year so hopefully if your book is published by then I'll grab a few copies to bring back to Australia with me. Keep up the good work... - ...I found it interesting and informative. It is obvious that a lot of work has gone into it's production so far and equally obvious that there is a lot more to come.	the authors - I have just read all the Harold Hill site and enjoyed all aspects of it; mind you, before I went to it I thought it was going to be about that comedian Harry Hill - I'm glad it wasn't.
