Elderley Gypsy Traveller man and police during eviction from Darenth Woods. Article transcript also references M.P Norman Dodds.
Additional description
"In the past lots of people would move together - it might only be short distance, but everyone moved together. But as people got older they couldn't or didn’t want to move on every day. "
"This shows an eviction with Gypsies and Travellers being moved on. Today the same thing is done by giving Gypsies and Travellers ASBOs (Anti-Social Behaviour Orders)- which means they can’t come back to that area. "
Comments are a summary of discussions with members from Gypsy and Traveller communities based in Yorkshire including members of the Cunningham, Hanrahan, Mulvanny, Rennard and Taylor families. (Re-visiting Collections Workshop Oct 2016).
