She said Grove Road was “truly groundbreaking”. It was designed in the 1970s by the disabled activists Ken and Maggie Davis, and “came about at a pivotal moment in the story in the fight for independent living, which is particularly pertinent in today’s landscape of cuts to the Independent Living Fund”.
She also picked Chiswick House, because it is “such an evocative space and when you move around the grounds you can almost hear the voices of the individuals who lived there whilst it was a private asylum, which is the little-known history of this stately home”.
And she picked out the Liverpool school because Edward Rushton, its founder, “was such an extraordinary man”.
She said: “He is better known for his role in the abolitionist movement but he also was a huge campaigner for disabled people and I’m interested in how you can campaign for multiple causes and have multiple interests and facets to your identity.”
