Rebuilding Hoxton Hall’s postwar community: May Scott’s (1945–1975)
This chapter discusses Hoxton Hall as it transitioned post World War II. Specifically, it will look at the “May Scott Years” between 1945 and 1975. It relies largely—almost entirely – on oral testimony and archival research to tell its tale and it refers to repeating themes of Quaker Fellowship, Gentrification, and Hoxton Spirit.
