Exhibit, 20 Goswell Road, Clerkenwell, EC1M 7AA

Exhibitions: , Art, Photography, Gallery

How Much: Free!
Following the near-destruction of the City during the Second World War, the Golden Lane Estate was constructed as a way for London (and indeed the country) to move forward, away from the bloodied past and towards a future of optimism and hope.

The bold architectural design of the estate is not to everyone's taste, but in the eyes of many it is a thing of beauty and a symbol of progress - both social and political.

Over the course of 2009, Patricia Niven has documented the lives of residents who have lived in the Golden Lane Estate since it first opened in the 1950s. This is a fascinating insight into the concerns of the individual, as well as a striking encapsualtion of the feelings of a nation.

Until 16.10.09.
