    DescriptionIn this episode, we turn our attention to the remarkable sculpture known as "The Dockers," which graces Trinity Gardens in Poplar's Lansbury Estate. With Rosamund Lily West (Kingston University, UK), we delve into the London County Council's post-war vision for this vibrant East End hub, tracing its evolution amidst the winds of change brought by deindustrialization in the 1980s and the transformative waves of gentrification in the 21st century.
