1 Jun 2019 - UPDATED SITE NEWS
Dear Friends, Followers & occasional Visitors,
The Postbag will shortly be updated, but in the meantime there are good news for the "Walthamstow Finest" project: our friend Dave Hughes has put a remarkable effort in creating both this CD and the event, and I hope you will attend and, possibly, also buy copies of the CD for yourself and your friends. You will own a rare collection of music from local artists, and at the same time you will support a good cause!
See the Highlights Section below.
As always, any comments and suggestions from you are most welcome but don't forget to share your memories and pictures!
Enjoy browsing your site & kindest regards
Welcome!
... to a website dedicated to recording the memories of those who were born, arrived, lived, worked or died in Walthamstow, formerly an Urban District,
then a Municipal Borough in Essex, now part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
This site stores people's memories but also acts as a bulletin-board service listing the numerous emails we receive - seeking help with everything from family research to "Do your remember... ?"
We list received emails with an email link to the sender. We will try to answer any queries, if we can, but in most instances we simply do not know the answers to the questions we receive - but... you never know who might!
Scroll down for more info on how this website works and what it contains.
Yes, all human existence is here - provided its roots lie in Walthamstow - lost but not forgotten!
Send your emails to the editor, Daniel Quinn at daniel@walthamstowmemories.net.
If anybody else would like to join us then please get in touch - there is always plenty to do!
