South Acton Stories compiles the everyday memories and special events of the people of South Acton, illustrated with striking imagery and an interactive website.

In September 2004, Fluid was appointed by English Heritage to contribute to an exciting study aiming to characterize the South Acton Neighbourhood.

The project was initiated by SARAG (South Acton Residents Action Group) to explore how a ‘historical’ insight might inform the process of change, at a time when large-scale regeneration plans were being developed.

The ‘digital documentary’ was the result of a two-month project where close to 200 local people contributed their time, knowledge, opinions and talent. 52 edited short films cover fifteen themes ranging from laundries to allotments via entertainment and parks.
