In summer 2009 we gathered together a programme of archive films about the early years of Thamesmead and bought them back 'home'. We screened them to many of the different groups who are part of Thamesmead's community today.
Through the responses and memories that the films generated, this documentary explores the social history of Thamesmead and the stories of the different people who call this 'Town of the 21st Century' home.
This is the first 10 minutes of Thamesmead: A 21st Century Town. The full 60 minute film can be purchased from our shop.
