Chingford Historical Society

I've just discovered that The Chingford Historical Society has its own website www.chingfordhistory.org.uk , with links from there to other local history organisations. Listed there are all their publications, including; Chingford Historical Society - A fifty year story of the society - £2.50. Chingford in History - A popular general history of the town - £2.50. Chingford As It Was - A picture book of old Chingford - £1.50. Chingford's Water Supply - The reservoirs, pumping station etc - £1. Chingford's Post Office - Interesting picture of the mail in our town - £3. The Forest in Walthamstow and Chingford - £1.50 . Some Chingford Field Names - £1. Chingford Day - Chingford's annual show in Ridgeway Park - £2. Chingfliers A little known history of our aerodrome - £4.80. Chingford Libraries - Their history and development to 1965 (sorry, Out of print). Chingford Old Church - A recent re-print of the book by A L Martin - £3.00. Arise Sir Loin - A legend of Epping Forest (leaflet – 50p). Lawrence of Arabia - His connection with our town – 50p.

Of course, we stock all these in the shop (except the out of print ones - but you did know we can search for out of print titles, didn't you?. We are now pretty much dealing with the Society's mail order side and any of the above only need another £1 to be posted direct to your door.

And let's not forget Chingford At War (£14.99, isbn 9780954926502) which Betty Brown worked so tirelessly to bring to reprint. Sadly, it is not currently available, but we are hopeful that it will be reprinted again, although we do not know how soon that might be. If you'd like us to keep you informed, do email us at bev@bookservice.biz.
