The borough of Newham in East London was largely built up from the
1800s onwards. Early industry on the river included tide mills and
the Royal Docks and their ancillary services provided employment.
Large areas of housing also followed the building of the railways
with new industries and commerce developing in the area. Transport
is still conspicuous in the landscape, not least at Stratford. The
municipal pride of this era can be seen in the civic buildings in
centres such as East Ham and elsewhere, as well as the public
utilities. Culture and recreation, and places of worship, are also
in evidence in buildings around the borough and the regeneration of
recent decades following the closure of the docks and the 2012
London Olympics also define Newham. Newham in 50 Buildings explores
the history of this fascinating area of East London through a
selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing
the changes that have taken place over the years. The book will
appeal to all those who live in Newham or who have an interest in
the area.
