Can you believe that it's been one year since we were in Stratford's Town Hall celebrating The Big Reveal and marking the end of The Charabancs and Cadillacs Project?

We are grateful to everyone who came forward and made their voices known, either through oral history workshops or sewing onto The Travel Quilt. We also appreciate those who have supported the project through its duration, and of course, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery Players for making the project happen.
