Time: 6:00pm to 8:00pm
'Frankie Goes to Collywood' is a walk dedicated to the life of times of a remarkable individual called Francis Kitz who devoted his life to supporting people caught up in the turbulent period of the late industrial revolution.
Whether they were the very poorest Londoners, oppressed workers or foreign refugees fleeing the pogroms in Europe, he was on their side. Kitz was also a dyer and political ally of William Morris and it was working for him at the Merton Printworks that brought him to the Colliers Wood area.
Kitz' contribution to working people on the Wandle was acknowledged earlier this year with the placing of a blue plaque and a number of Walks covering his central London connections and haunts.
This event will be free to attend thanks to funding from the Mayor of London's Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm.
