This project has been an immense undertaking and there are so many people to thank for their invaluable contributions; without their help, this project truly would never have become what it now is. They are all listed in the exhibition, in the book, and in the accompanying exhibition catalogue with my heartfelt thanks.
I would like to acknowledge and thank the following who have been especially instrumental in creating this story and staging of the exhibition:
Rossella Black at Lambeth Council and Brixton Library for enabling the exhibition to be staged in the Clapham Library.
Susanna Brown for designing and curating the exhibition, and for designing the exhibition catalogue.
Liz Buchanan, and all of her team, at the Clapham Library for their assistance during the exhibition.
Jeremy Keates at the Clapham Business Improvement District (‘Clapham BID’) team for financial support and for funding the Public Art Exhibition along Clapham High Street.
Gary Laub for his original permission to photograph inside Maurice’s premises following his death.
Dianne Levy for her continued passion, support and encouragement for this project.
Vincent Oliver for digitising and processing the 1960s Kodachrome slides, and for editing the audio recordings and the video from the 1960s cine film.
Lisa Perry for her continued assistance, suggestions, and encouragement, right from the very outset of this project.
Tara Rowse for social media.
Sam Trenerry for all media relations.
John Wood for his extensive and revealing genealogical and historical research.
…and my wife, Ruth, for her invaluable support and advice over 18 long months!
