Modern Village: New Ash Green and the New Towns

  • New Ash Green Youth and Community Centre Ash Rd, Longfield DA3 8JY (map)

An event put on by New Ash Green Arts Community. John Grindrod has been described as the most vibrant, irresistible and knowledgeable voice writing about architecture and social history today.  He says of himself that he is not an academic – just a big old geek.  He does a lot of walking, describing what he sees and trying to understand how buildings and landscapes might have come about, trying to see places on their own terms, not with the baggage of received wisdom and hindsight.

. His book ‘Concretopia’ received favourable reviews in the Independent, the Times and the Sunday Telegraph and has a chapter on New Ash Green called ‘A Village with your Children in Mind’.  

£2 members, £4 non-members. Tickets on the door.
