Help us recover the lost names of the children of Tooting
In 1849, more than 180 children died in a devastating cholera outbreak at a pauper "farm" in South London. Few were named in the historical record.
Tooting180 is a volunteer-led project working to uncover and honour each of these forgotten lives. With every new name we find, we restore a piece of dignity that history overlooked.
Buy us a coffee on Ko-fi to help with:
- Archival access and historical records
- Hosting and maintaining our searchable database
- Spreading the word and reaching potential collaborators
We don’t receive grants or institutional funding. Every Ko-fi donation keeps the project going, one cup at a time.
