Exhibition Guide Saturday 24 November - Wednesday 19 December 2018 Outside The Magistrates, Town Hall Campus, Walthamstow, London E17 4NX Below: Stanley Gorringe of Leyton in his Royal Flying Corps Uniform. Circa 1918. Exhibition Guide No, they would not be lonely. I saw that bare country the miles and miles of torn earth, the barbed wire, the litter, the dead trees. But the country would come back to life, the grass would grow again, the wild flowers return, and trees where now there were only splintered skeleton stumps. They would lie still and at peace below the singing larks, beside the serenely flowing rivers. They could not feel lonely, they would have one another. And though we were going home and leaving them behind we belonged to them, and they would be a part of us forever. Extract from In the Cannon’s Mouth by P J Campbell, Royal Field Artillery Welcome Welcome to the Fields of Battle, Lands of Peace 14-18 exhibition outside the The Magistrates, Town Hall Campus, Waltham Forest. This guide provides information about the exhibition, photographer Mike Sheil, the First World War and © IWM (2265) photographs connected to Waltham Forest. We hope you find time to stop and look at these poignant, often extraordinarily beautiful photographs of former First World War battlefields. In a busy world they have the capacity to make us stop and think. They are a memorial to over eight million soldiers, sailors, airmen and air women around the world who gave their lives, including those from Waltham Forest. They also serve as a warning, not to repeat the folly of our forebears, who let the world slide into such a devastating conflict. And that the peace that finally stilled the guns a hundred years ago is something to be cherished. © Michael St. Maur Sheil Fields of Battle, Lands of Peace 14-18 © Michael St. Maur Sheil The Photographs – Exhibition Themes The photographs, showing battlefields of the First World War, were taken between 2005 and 2012. They show them not as places as misery and death, but as havens of peace and tranquility. The land has healed itself, and the grass, flowers and trees have grown again. © Michael St. Maur Sheil The The photographs depict the truly global nature of the conflict, which involved combatants from more Photographer than 60 countries. There are photographs from all over the world, including Europe, the Middle East, Mike Sheil is an internationally acclaimed Africa and the mid-Atlantic where the war was photographer who has worked for high fought at sea. profile clients including the BBC, National Geographic, The New York Times and Time Life. He has visited over 60 countries. In 2005 he started photographing the battlefields of the First World War, a project which took him over eight years, and visits to little-known sites across three continents, as well as famous ones nearer to home in France and Flanders. His unique photographs combine a passion for history and landscape, and show how the horror of a battlefield, transformed and healed by the power of nature can be a powerful and fitting memorial to the millions who died. “ This collection represents a legacy which I hope will create a gateway to the battlefields... encouraging people to visit these historic landscapes... and so create awareness and understanding of the events and historical implications of the First World War”. © Michael St. Maur Sheil Mike Sheil Exhibition Guide Educational Resource Exploring the Exhibition You can view the exhibition in any order.

Credit: Vestry House Museum, London in Waltham Forest Borough of Waltham Forest. Zeppelin Raids On the 17 August 1915, Zeppelin Airship L10 flew over Waltham Forest dropping bombs in the area. Affected areas included Hoe Street, the Bakers Arms, Lloyd Park, Leyton High Road and Grove Green Road. Ten people were killed and 48 injured during the raid. Another Zeppelin Airship (L31) returned in 1916, this time dropping bombs on Lea Bridge Road in Leyton, killing eight people and injuring 30. Zeppelins measured over 150 metres in length and would have been terrifying to behold. In 1916 an airship was shot down and exploded in the sky in Hertfordshire. The explosion could be seen from Waltham Forest.

    Lea Bridge Road A street for everyone Tell us Public consultation document Section H your views 1 Lea Bridge Road: a street for everyone Introduction Mni-Holland is an exciting programme to improve walking and cycling in the borough. Plans for Lea Bridge Road aim to change the area, making significant improvements for not only people who cycle but for everyone using the road. The road is one of the key strategic routes in the borough running from the Whipps Cross Roundabout to the Lee Valley Ice Centre near the Hackney Boundary. The road is heavily used, with up to 30,000 vehicles and 1,500 cyclists on it every day. It is currently primarily used by those travelling through the borough into neighbouring Hackney and further into the heart of London. Over the past five years, accidents resulting in injury to pedestrians and cyclists have increased. Between 2009 and 2013 a total of 173 cyclists and 68 pedestrians were injured on the road, including 24 serious accidents and one fatality. Changes are needed to make the road easier to navigate for all road users and to increase the safety and create a more forgiving street environment, particularly for people who cycle. Aims of the scheme As part of the Mini-Holland Programme, we are investing in Lea Bridge Road to build upon the recent Bakers Arms regeneration and transform the street, particularly to increase pedestrian footfall and the number of people who cycle. The scheme is a key council project and will change the landscape of the area, making significant improvements to public spaces, junctions, bridges, footways and cycling facilities.

Lea Bridge Road is one of three routes linking our residents to neighbouring boroughs, running from the Whipps Cross Roundabout to the borough boundary with Hackney, and is heavily used with up to 30,000 vehicles and 1,500 cyclists using it every day. With Lea Bridge Road Station opening next year, the area is set to become a key transport hub. This investment, along with Mini-Holland funding, will build upon the recent Bakers Arm regeneration to increase pedestrian footfall and provide an excellent opportunity for businesses to thrive. The proposed programme will upgrade junctions, bridges and footways, create attractive public spaces with more trees, offer safer routes to school and healthier travel options making the area a more enjoyable place that people will want to visit.
