The mural was planned in 1979 and finally finished in 1993. The mural features some of the people who actually took part, as well as other figures who ‘ represent’ people from the East End today. The shops you can see existed, and all the activities taking place happened. More about who painted the mural>>
THE CHARACTERS SPEAK OUT
 |
Pupils from Year 5&6 from Mayflower, Bygrove, Culloden, Manorfield and Lansbury Lawrence primary schools in Poplar have done some work on the mural using history and ITC. They used empathy skills to think about what the people shown in the mural might have been feeling and thinking at the time.
