'Growing Memories' is a project that has brought Stratford residents together around food and food history. Since the arrival of railway and industry in the 1840s, Stratford has experienced the migration of new communities arriving to work and build their lives. This trend continues to the present day. Each culture has it's own histories, memories, and foods, from the Cockney classic, cockles, to Caribbean cuisine, and curry cooking. Eastside Community Heritage recorded these experiences through interviews, reminiscence sessions, community gardening sessions, and school workshops. We also explored changes on the high street, and access to other public spaces, particularly the Olympic Park.
