Changing the Face of the Forest
£6.00
How the unemployed transformed the Wanstead Flats area
Wanstead Flats, Wanstead Park and Leyton Flats, forming the southern
area of Epping Forest, have been woven into local history for many
centuries. But today's landscape of woods, lakes and playing fields is
a fairly recent phenomenon - and is largely the result of the work of
local unemployed labourers over 100 years ago.
