Description: | Terry Fitzpatrick was a builder and political activist in the East End in the 1970s. Here, in conversation with Jamil Iqbal of the Swadhinata Trust, he describes the housing situation in Tower Hamlets with the arrival of the Bangladeshi community. In particular, he describes the unofficial solution many people found to housing problems - squatting in unoccupied buildings. Here, he speaks of the sense of victory his group felt when they found suitable permanent accommodation for its members. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Swadhinata Trust | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Public services Communities Power and Politics | Temporal: | 2006 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
