Dr Jeff Nicholas KJSJ presented November's Talking History lecture: 'Behind The Streets of Adelaide: A Catalogue of Reform'. Jeff will outlined how a committee of 12 sat to deliberate on the first set of names for the streets and squares in Adelaide on May 23rd 1837. Who are these people whose names we pass on a daily basis and why does he believe that they constitute a 'Pantheon of Dissent'?
