Description: | Over 1,000 items in a collection which began with small donations since the 1930s, but which has grown since the appointment of a Museum Development Officer in 1988. The collection includes domestic items, a small group of clothes and accessories, items connected with community life and leisure from tea gardens to radical politics, and objects relating to the working life of the area, characterised by small scale businesses, such as watch-making, printing and the rag trade, and large-scale markets. The museum is actively collecting material to represent the diversity of Islington's population both past and present. | Subjects: | watch-making local history markets People | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Islington Town Hall
