Photos by the late Ian Dunning, resident of Foreshore.
“Queen Elizabeth ll visited the Pepys Resource Centre on the 9 June 1977 her silver jubilee year. It was a damp drizzly day, but that didn't stop the party atmosphere of the crowds lining the river front. She spent some time in the Centre and in the meantime my husband Ian took lots of photographs. Some of us on the estate carried on the party later!”
Ian’s wife, Janet Dunning
The Drum, 2017
Painting by Steve Burden
Oil on canvas, 145 x 115cm
This painting brings together three strands of the Pepys Estate's identity. The original Brutalist architecture, fragments of the estate's masterplan, and a figure from the annual Jack in the Green procession that winds its way from Greenwich through the estate. Together, they create a portrait of a place shaped by both concrete and ritual.
The Windrush Foundation

Also in 1996, Torrington set up the Equiano Society, with the main objective of celebrating the life and work of Olaudah Equiano (c. 1745–1797), as well as the literary and cultural legacy in Britain of Equiano's African contemporaries.
