The Walthamstow Reservoirs

I knew there were reservoirs at Walthamstow, but I didn’t know they were so extensive, until I read an article in last night’s Standard.

Thames Water are getting together with the London Borough of Waltham Forest to develop this area as an area of wetlands.

There’s a lot about the site here. The reservoirs are a Site of Special ScientificIinterest.

I’d like to read the article but annoyingly, I can’t find it on the Standard website. We’ve hopped on the 56 and done a fair amount of walking (and blackberry picking and pub-visiting!) up Walthamstow-way over the last few years. In 1909 the first British powered flight took place up there too.

I couldn’t find it either and unfortunately I binned the paper.

I shall be looking for this museum.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
