Researching for a Christmas walk in Spitalfields led me to discover that in the early 1900s via a @DailyMirror charity appeal a men’s hostel in Quaker St was known briefly as The Palace of Pudding. Thanks to @salvationarmyuk archive and @BNArchive westminsterwalks.london/the-palace-of-…

@stevebr98325879 Yes of course. Sorry I didn’t spot your response earlier.

@WWalks If the lifts are not working on the day and I can't use the stairs then would I be entitled to a refund please.

Tomorrow! There are still some spaces at 10, 12 and 2pm. Join me to discover the fascinating history of #WalthamForest Town Hall in #Walthamstow eventbrite.co.uk/e/waltham-fore…

@stevebr98325879 Yes. There is a lift to all floors. On the tour we go up one floor and then down 2 flights to the basement.

@WWalks Is the tour accessible please? I have difficulty with stairs but can manage very slowly using a handrail.

Made me and my group jump! A bit early for Hallowe’en though. Coppermill Lane #Walthamstow.

Does anyone have any ideas why an #Islington brewery would be awarding trophies to the #Walthamstow Spade Husbandry Society in the 1950s? I already know about the history of this allotment but was intrigued by the brewery connection.

Did you know that Keith Richards’ grandmother Eliza Richards was Mayor of #Walthamstow 1941-42? Keith’s father was born in Walthamstow but the family then moved to Dartford. Find out more about @wfcouncil town hall’s history this Saturday 20 September. eventbrite.co.uk/e/waltham-fore…

Please share! We’re collecting memories connected to Acorn Films’ amazing newsreels which were recorded and broadcast in #Chingford. More details on the second image as to what we’re looking for and here facebook.com/ChingfordHisto… This might jog your memory m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdSWmz…

Have the gardeners of #StJames’s Square SW1 travelled forward in time or is this a typo? Look at the size of these squashes too!
