Subsequently 12 local London museums ran their own Local Heroes projects, each taking one panel from the original exhibition, and then adding 11 other local heroes from their own borough. Bruce Castle Museum in Haringey took the panel on David Lammie, and added eleven more local heroes including the broadcaster Trevor Philips, author Diran Adebayo, and actor and playwright Kwame Kwei Armah. Each brought a treasured object for display in the museum, and were photographed holding their chosen object.
This archive contains the poster advertising the exhibition, and the comments of all twelve local heroes on their objects. Other museums who ran their own spin off exhibitions are Bromley Museum, Cuming Museum (Southwark), Grange Museum of Community History (Brent), Gunnersbury Park Museum (Ealing and Hounslow), Hillingdon Local Studies and Archive, Islington Museum, Kingston Museum Service, Ragged School Museum Trust (Tower Hamlets), Redbridge Museum Service, Vestry House Museum (Waltham Forest), Wandsworth Museum Service.
