However, for the past twelve years, Dr David Holland has researched an earlier period of South Asian migration to the area, which began in earnest over one hundred years ago. The resulting history is both surprising and inspiring. 🎟️ Free, donations welcome, booking recommended 🔗 https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/lunchtime-talk-sheffield-s-pioneering-south-asian-settlers-1917-1947/ 🧸 Fridays Under 5s - Get Stuck In!
