Walking Tour
Thanks to everyone who came on the walking tour yesterday. It was amazing to see so much interest in the Lea Valley. It was a lot of fun to enjoy a great walk and to share some of the history of this area.
Again we are sorry we did not have a handout for most of you, but we had no idea so many people would show up! Please visit the Lea Valley Drift website for more information about walking in the Lea Valley and look for information on a walk north of Hackney Wick in the near future.
Here are a few more links for places we visited or that might be interesting:
Cody Dock, House Mill, Abbey Mills Pumping Station, a online history of West Ham, and a new history of East London.

Thank you for organising such an interesting walking tour. We saw places that we didn’t know existed and will be going back to explore some more in the near future. It was great to see how many people were interested and turned up for the walk.

Hi Jim
Really enjoyable walk yesterday. As a West Londoner it was very interesting hearing about the significance of early industry in the East End. Looking forward to being able to download the route map and retrace.
Thanks

Really smart-looking blog. I wish I could have gone on this walk.
