Mount Pleasant Religious Associations
This online exhibition is the result of an externally funded project. Through it you can learn about three different religious groups that exist within Mount Pleasant Mail Centre and the different festivals they celebrate there.
You can also hear the members of these groups tell in their own words their experiences of migrating to London and working for Royal Mail.
This exhibition was created with help from the members of these religious groups.
