I love the streets of Walthamstow.
It parallels my origins, my family. My heritage cast as people, bricks and houses.
Like me it is mixed up.
It is from everywhere, it is from nowhere.
All the world walks its streets, yet the streets belong to no one.
It is decaying, it is reviving, it is always changing.
It is built on old money, which left long ago.
It is a place of welcome, it accepts you as you are.
Its past is still visible in its streets.

It has colour and life, it is always unexpected.
It is my home.

This is one my favourite roads in Walthamstow. It has houses of virtually ever decade since 1850. Built on the driveway of one of Walthamstow's lost great mansions, it shows the area's transformation from its origins a rural retreat for London's wealthy to the bustling urban place it is today.

These mysterious faces can be seen between some of the doorways scattered along the Avenue and Crescent. Many of Walthamstow's builder developers sought to ornament their streets with such faces taken from pattern books, but the Victorian and Edwardians who built Cleveland Park seem to have been a more random in their choices than any others I've seen. Whereas many of Walthamstow's streets frequently feature stern looking classical gentlemen and ladies, here these are joined by frankly scary lions, cherub faced children, teutonic gods, and even some contemporary portraits including someone who looks rather like local boy William Morrris and of course the old Queen Vic herself. Some are well-sculpted faces whereas some are crudely rendered. With the exception of Queen Victoria their significance and sporadic appearances remains a mystery.

Celebrating the most important of the 400 films produced by the four major Walthamstow film studios operating between 1910-26. “An unprecedented hit with audiences upon its release in 1916, The Battle of the Somme has played an integral role in film history. Pioneering the battlefield documentary genre, and instrumental in the development of cinema as a propaganda tool, its influence can be seen in documentary filmmaking across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In 2005 the film’s significance led to its addition to the UNESCO ‘Memory of the World’ register.” Imperial War Museum
