11th September: Paul Cowdell - Rats, London, and Folklore: 'You're *how* far from a rat? "I’ll talk about my research into urban beliefs about rats and previously-recorded folklore about rats as well as the natural history of rats and their environments. I’ll look at how rats are used to represent the Other, and how beliefs about rats change from rural to urban settings. What distinguishes London’s ratlore from that of other cities, and what it might tell us about Londoners’ attitude to their home." "This research is ongoing, and I'd welcome participation in my short questionnaire."
30th October: Scott Wood - The Dark Arts Walk Free Walk: Join Scott Wood outside The Hobgoblin Pub, opposite New Cross Station, at 7pm for a walk taking in New Cross and Deptford's strange and ghostly folklore and history. Ghosts and ghost hunters, witchcraft and the devil, an exploding chip shop and boozers from beyond the grave. The walk will take approximately an hour and a half and will end with a pint at the Dog & Bell, Prince Street. |
