Walthamstow Through Time

Lindsay Collier is married with two grown-up children and two grandchildren. He is a museum professional and historian, also working as a London Licensed taxi driver. Lindsay has lived in Walthamstow for over forty years, and began to get involved with its past in 1994, when he formed a group to save the Low Hall Pumping Station from demolition. They were successful, and the building was subsequently developed as the Lea Valley Experience, a museum focused on the formidable industrial heritage of Waltham Forest. This project is still moving forward. Lindsay is an expert on the region, having focused on the Lea Valley for his MA thesis. He has also written an article for the London Development Agency, and produced the entire interpretive plan for his museum. This is his first book.
