Memories of the Aggie

Published: 26 November, 2010

• THE Business Design Centre first opened its doors in October 1986, and next year therefore marks the 25th anniversary of its conversion. 

I am writing a book telling the remarkable story of this extraordinary building, from its construction as the Royal Agricultural Hall up to the present day, and its undoubted contribution to the life and regeneration of Islington.

There is, of course, a wealth of information in the wonderful Local History Archive at Finsbury Library, but if anyone has particular or peculiar stories of their own about the Business Design Centre, or indeed the old Aggie, please do get in touch.
