Thanks to everyone who visited WE: The Ex Warner Project over the three weeks that it was open (30 May – 15 June 2014).

We had over 1,300 visitors during that time, and are now carrying out an evaluation of the project for our funders, Waltham Forest Council.

Thanks to the 35 people who came on the Leyton walk, and to David Boote who gave us a fascinating and informative tour. We started at Sybourn Street and after looking at the school building we went around the nearby streets: Hibbert Road, Harris Street and Markhouse Road, before going to look at the Dagenham Brook which passes nearby. We then crossed over Lea Bridge Road to the E10 streets like Bloxhall, Morieux and Perth Roads, looking at images that David had brought for us to look at relating to the places in previous years or their place names. The […]
Thanks so much to everyone who came on the photography walk with Walthamstow Historical Society yesterday, and thanks in particular to Neil Houghton, for leading what was a really fascinating and entertaining 2 hour walk.

These were later demolished, and in their […]

We had such a lovely weekend at the exhibition, just under 150 visitors came on both the Saturday and Sunday, so thanks everyone who visited.

Visitors were asked to wear a sticker with the number of years they’d lived in a Warner property. Two ex residents came all the way from Peterborough. My favourite moment was our visitor who had moved into a Warner flat that day meeting […]
