George Nicholson, a key member of the SE1 Stories group and an important figure in the battle for social housing in North Southwark, has died after a short illness. He played a vital role in obtaining funding to put together the SE1 Stories exhibition, and had previously served as both a Southwark and GLC councillor for the area. We have a fuller obituary piece here.
The exhibition continues
You can currently visit Surrey Docks Watersports Centre to see the ‘Blackfriars SE1 in the 1970s’ exhibition (as at February 2026).
