Lenthall Road Workshop was set up in 1975 in Lenthall Road in Hackney, having previously been a screenprinting service mainly for Centerprise on Kingsland Road in Dalston. The community silkscreen and photography workshop offered local people skills in printing and production processes so that they could take charge of producing their own material. As well as running workshops, Lenthall Road was also involved with events in the area and produced their own posters.
