Projects
We are usually working on several projects at once and current work includes:
 

Hawker Siddeley factory, Walthamstow
The Workshop has been working with Vestry House Museum and photographer Paul Tucker to produce an exhibition looking at the former Hawker Siddeley Power Transformers / Fuller Electric site in Fulbourne Road, Walthamstow. There was a fascinating exhibition at the museum incorporating archive and contemporary photographs, as well as extracts from nine of the workshop's interviews  more
 

Walthamstow Stadium Dog Track
'The Stow' - Walthamstow's iconic greyground racing stadium - closed in summer 2008, amidst genuine sadness tinged with recriminations. Now the dust has settled, we are planning a longer-term project looking at all aspects of the stadium life - working there, going there, betting, socialising and the dogs. If you have a story to tell, get in touch with us  more
 

1948 Olympics
The 2012 Olympics will be held just a mile or two from Waltham Forest, so we have a personal interest in them. We’ve been doing some interviews of people who attended - or even took part in - those first post-war Olympics staged in a very different age  more
 

Pubs
A long-term project looking at the history of alcohol and pubs in Waltham Forest - someone had to do it! Published as work in progress for free download - revised still further in November 2009  more
 

Jewish History
The pattern of movement from inner London to the outer suburbs  more
 

Web publishing
All our new publications are published as web editions to read on-screen or print out locally, rather than as traditional books; they are available for free download.

Web publishing also lets us republish old titles when they become out of print and produce new titles like our Stocksfield Road work from the 1980s which would not otherwise be available.

If you have views about our web publishing policy, let us know!
