"A very interesting look into the history of the farm. It was an eye opener, and brought back many memories."
"Fantastic exhibition. Very informative and interesting. Needs to be kept here and developed. Looking forward to coming back to see how things develop."
"Wonderful archive and local history, so the people who are coming can see what the community has passed through and the commitment it took of individuals to move things forward. Well done!"
"A really excellent exhibition, I learnt a lot about Broadwater Farm and its history. I live near by, I visit the estate, Lordship Rec and Bruce Castle Museum regularly but never knew about this part of our local history. This should be a permanent feature not a temporary exhibition. People, locals and otherwise, should have access to it." Becky local Tottenham resident.

"An inspirational collection of words and images of some very inspirational people. This needs to be available to the wider public young and old." Patrick local resident

"Having lived around here all my life I was fascinated by the way this exhibition recorded and recognised a really important time in local history."

"I thought the story boards were very well designed and laid out and certainly deserve wide circulation.
I can appreciate how difficult it must have been to select the narrative and nuances of the Broadwater story but I genuinely think you have developed a very coherant and cogent perspective. Well done and
thank you for inviting me." Chief Officer of Community Affairs during the days of the Youth Association
