The Charabancs and Cadillacs project has showcased a trunk filled with memorabilia from the past 70 years, including a vintage radio set, a 1960s BOAC shoulder bag, and various photographs. Launched by community transport organisations from Newham and Waltham Forest, the initiative collects untold travel memories through participatory reminiscence sessions. Newham deputy mayor Sarah Ruiz praised the project as the best of its kind, emphasizing its importance in preserving local history and engaging diverse community narratives, reflecting life in east London since World War II.
The Charabancs and Cadillacs project has been collecting travel and transport memories through oral history and reminiscence sessions over the last two years.
Cllr Sarah Ruiz noted, 'It is the best reminiscence project I have seen,' highlighting the project's impact on community storytelling.
