Among the 54 commemorated, nine are women—a strikingly high proportion for the time. Historian Dr John Price will briefly outline the history of the memorial and explore the lives and deaths of some of those who feature.In June 1912, Albert Roy Luxton, a 34-year-old bus driver, realised the brakes on his motorbus had failed while descending Highgate Hill. Responding to the danger, he steered the bus away from a crowd, crashing into a wall and died from his injuries a week later. His funeral procession was attended by hundreds. Folklorist Alessandra Curtis will recount Luxton’s life and heroism, exploring how his story was commemorated and the impact of his actions on the community. She explains how she used historical newspaper articles to reconstruct his life and events, and even managed to find his grave.----Dr John Price is an award-winning Public and Community Historian who takes a People's History approach to modern and contemporary history.
