Secret Newham delves into the fascinating but often quirky and
curious history of the towns that make up the borough of Newham in
East London. From the origins of place names, memorials and street
names to tales behind past and present industries and businesses,
the origins of the area’s growth and wealth are revealed. Docks
and shipping played a vital role until recent decades and other
forms of transport also shaped the area, not least the railways in
Stratford. The two World Wars changed the face of much of Newham
and many repurposed buildings can be found behind new facades.
Newham’s parks and green spaces also have a story to tell and
here sport has played a significant role, not least with hosting
much of the 2012 London Olympics. With tales of remarkable
characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared
historical buildings and locations, Secret Newham will appeal to
all those with an interest in the history of this corner of London.
