    Train to Teach to Think Islington, London Monday December 3rd Coffee from 9.00 for a 9.32 start Finishing 4.17 Laycock Professional Development Centre Laycock Street, London N1 1TH If you have questions, large or Thank you for completing the sign-up process for the course. small, about the course, email The venue is one I’ve used several times before and it’s [email protected] conveniently located and with good food. A map and travel or ring 07843 555355 details for the venue are on the next page. We are in Room 1 on the ground floor. Coffee will be served there from 9.00 and we’ll start at 9.32. Why 9.32? 9.30 can mean 9.30. Or it can mean “half-past nine”. Which is much vaguer, much more “-ish.” There’s nothing “-ish” about 9.32. It sends a signal that we can expect each other to start on time. The course will finish at 4.17. After I’ve packed up, I will head for a coffee before driving home, so you’re welcome to hang around and continue the conversation if you don’t have to rush back (and aren’t already exhausted). The Venue Except for a space for blue badge holders, there’s no parking at the venue but public transport links are excellent. It’s easiest to find the centre from the Highbury Station Road entrance. If coming from Highbury and Islington Station, make sure you turn immediate right down Highbury Station Road, which then bends round to the left.

There are no monuments dedicated to ordinary people. Heredity of ordinary people was cancelled on the course of the years. Then, how to find out about life of ordinary people. The only way is to visit the remains, if they can be found. With the industrialisation, 1850 on, people moved from the north of UK to find a job in London. They settled where the trains stopped, in Islington, or in the north and east of London. Travel 8 will lead you to these places, where workers and industries were. Travel London 8, ISLINGTON and the NORTH Visiting the north of London is possible to imagine how London was at the time of the 1850’s first industrialisation. Here are beautiful places, with many, many interesting things to discover. Travel 8 starts in Islington, where you reach it with the Tube at Angel Underground Station. Outside the station turn on the right, towards Islington Town. Here you find the monument to Hugh Myddelton, the man that in 1613 had the idea to create an aqueduct for selling fresh water to Londoners.
