Since May I have been working as part of the Dott 07 City Farming team, developing an urban agriculture project in the North East of England. We’ve been forming good working relationships with a large number of organisations already quite present in the region in order to see if we can help eachother by getting this project to fly; allotment organisations, primary schools, community farms, a catering college, local cafés, women’s groups, and local farmers. Our plan is to set up a goodly number of small, medium and large mobile gardening containers to create ‘grow zones’ in the city and through the course of spring and summer, grow enough food, and generate enough recipes to self-host a town meal, a harvest feast cum street party at the end of the summer.

Urban greening projects may be a dime a dozen, but we want to experiment with connecting small community kitchens to the gardens, a holistic approach to food production. And by ‘holistic approach’ I mean an approach that includes some partying.

These are some of the images that I found online of entire streets eating together, mostly on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth’s silver jubilee in 1977 and one of a VE party in 1945 in Devon. I am looking to increase the number of street party typologies in my archive of people eating together, entire neighbourhoods, eating at tables set out on the street. I especially would like images that are less homogenous and less Queen-related than the ones pictured here.

Do you have any old pictures of street parties that give an indication of the variety of food served or that veer from the message that these images give? If so, please help me get in touch with you.

I know this is an old post, but I was searching for Street Party photos for reference for a store window I am designing. Your post reminded me of the below event that takes place in my dad’s town every year:

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

I’ve been surfing online greater than 3 hours as of late, yet I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It is beautiful price enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the web might be much more helpful than ever before.

I simply wanted to say thanks once more. I’m not certain the things I would have taken care of in the absence of those strategies provided by you directly on this topic. It was a distressing issue in my position, however , noticing your skilled avenue you processed the issue forced me to cry over fulfillment. Now i am happy for your information and even trust you really know what a great job you are always putting in teaching some other people through the use of your webblog. I know that you haven’t encountered any of us.
