The Secret Life of Hackney and Walthamstow Marshes: Hackney's Ghost Factory: A Tale of Repossession in Four Acts

I really enjoy this website, detailing the secret life of Hackney and Walthamstow marshes. Gareth writes with imagination, passion and a true feel for his manor.

 

"I first wrote about the Ghost Factory in February 2011 after I watched the wrecking balls smash Lesney Industries Ltd to pieces....."

eloquent writing about a dismal subject

Hi, thanks for the kind comments and re-scoop. Just to point out... The Marshman Chronicles isn't actually a curated site - all the work on there is my own.

London & Beyond: FILM Wanderlust Down the Lea

London & Beyond: FILM Wanderlust Down the Lea | London Life Archive | Scoop.it

"This atmospheric film follows a journey down the Lea river, from Luton to the Thames. The website includes the full film plus a series of revealing audio interviews with folk who dwell in the valley, inluding one with me and my dog Hendrix (the dog refused to speak, unfortunately)."

Ursula O'Reilly Traynor 's insight:
This is really worth watching. It's serene, poetic and gently presented. A walk by the river Lea from Leagrave in Luton to East London.Not what you'd expect.  Deserves an award of some kind.

Interesting to watch someone else's view of somewhere I know well too. I see the blue fence was still there - when was it filmed? Nicely minimal.
Gareth Rees's comment, June 21, 2012 11:45 AM
Hi Diana, I was interviewed for the audio section of their website around 6 weeks ago and they were still putting the film together at the time, so it's very recent.

this film is extraordinary
so calm and serene
insightful
for those of us unfamiliar with the Lea
and no doubt revealing for those who know it well!
will be sharing
