STREET PARTIES!

In this latest episode, the Unexpected duo, Professor James Daybell and Dr Sam Willis bring out the paper plates and plastic cups of the past to celebrate in jubilant fashion the unexpected history of STREET PARTIES! Which is all about celebrations, peace, the coming together of communities and of course the Queen's Platinum Jubilee! It’s also all about town planning, block parties, riots and protests against Vietnam in 1969 during the Mifflin Street Block Party in Madison Wisconsin! Who knew!
