ABOUT

Crescent Community Radio 97fm is a registered charity broadcasting to the local community in Rochdale.

THE PROJECT

The aim of the project was to record, share and preserve the stories of the community across three generations.The result is an invaluable oral history collection which provides intimate portraits of community members- and preserves for future generations the history and culture of the Kashmiri people.
