Living History:
About your area
The idea behind the Living History project and ourwebsite is to celebrate the role of South Asian migrants to Britain. Although our project concentrated on five areas - Slough, Leeds, Leicester, Coventry and East London- we are keen for the website to continue to grow and reflect the South Asian and British Asian communities around the country. What would you like to tell us about where your city and the changes you've seen there?
