Hidden Histories


Unfortunately Hidden Histories is no longer running

Hidden Histories used the revolutionary new concept of Street Radio developed by Hive Networks to make the treasures of Southampton's Oral History Archive available in the public realm of the city.  Street Radio is a totally new way of experiencing a city.
 
The system utilises wireless communication technologies such as WIFI and Bluetooth in combination with FM radio to create captive ‘puddles’ -- specific places where particular stories and themes can be heard.
 
These link together to form a media rich walk that transports people through the changing life of a city.  Hidden Histories in Southampton allowed people to step back in time and to listen to the history that was waiting to be discovered in their own neighbourhood.

The Hidden Histories website is now up and running.  Please click on the link below to be redirected.
