In the 1950s and 1960s Somerleyton Road and Geneva Road formed the nucleus of the Caribbean community in Brixton. By the 1970s the huge, run-down houses were demolished and the community scattered. Join Kelly Foster, Donald Hinds and George Fowokan Kelly as they remember the buildings and communities of the two streets and reveal new research about why Somerleyton-Geneva was so important.
