Hello everyone, just to let you know about our next event:
Running the water supply:
A walk around Walthamstow’s reservoirs
One
of the most powerful local enterprises from the early nineteenth
century through to the twentieth was the East London Water Company. A
combination of ruthless business methods and a visionary zeal led them
to harness the flow of the River Lea and build between 1862 and 1904 the
twelve reservoirs that border Walthamstow. A wonderful place to visit
for its views and wildlife, it is also a fascinating insight in late
nineteenth century engineering and industrial architecture.
