South Square Speaks

About

South Square Centre is starting a new oral history project and we need your memories and stories.

What does South Square mean to you? What memories do you have of South Square?

South Square Centre is starting a new project that hopes to develop the social history of the centre and peoples’ experiences within it. We would like to gather experiences, memories and stories from people who use and visit South Square Centre to help us understand our history, legacy and vision for the future.

Alongside these recordings, we would also like to invite people to donate items to our ‘Time Capsule’. South Square Centre’s new tenancy lease will be for 99 years, and we want to invite people to consider what people should know about South Square Centre, its members and visitors, one hundred years from now?

This project is being led by our Events Trainee, Áine McKenny, and hopes to be the start of an ongoing project and collaboration with the people of South Square. We want to gain a collection of people’s lived experiences within the centre and a history of what it means to people.

If you would like to take part sharing your memories of South Square Centre or donate an item to our time capsule, please email: a.mckenny@southsquarecentre.co.uk
