Deaf people are set to look back in time to discover how those with a hearing impairment enjoyed life and tackled their difficulties 80 years ago.

Walthamstow Deaf Club will play the film from the British Deaf Association’s own archives tomorrow at St Mary’s Church in Church End, Walthamstow.

Deaf people and anyone else interested is invited to join the screening to see how deaf people lived in the 1930s, when they organised social activities, led campaign rallies and even competed in their own Deaf Olympics.

Entry costs £1 with refreshments available at the event, which starts at 7pm.
