Podcast feedThe Ding Dong
Jo Lynch has lived near the Islington/Camden border all her life. As a child she’d walk from her home in Islington over to the land where the Maiden Lane Estate is to play. Back then, this was a wasteland with a band of misfits hanging out on it and an adventure play park. It went by the name of the Ding Dong.
