Silver Jubilee, Stracey RoadThis is a project about the history of Newham and its people.

The story of Newham is the story of its people who live and work here now, and in the past. Discover people’s personal stories.

There are two parts to the project at the moment. The first is the Newham Story website and the other is the Newham Story forums. You will need to register for both parts and you can use the same username and password on both the website and the forums.

When you have registered to use the website you can add more detailed stories and photographs. We will help organise these stories so that it is easy for everyone to add content and to find information they are looking for.

You should also register at the Newham Story Forums. The purpose of the forums is for people to post comments, questions, memories and photographs of Newham.

The forums are at – http://newhamstory.com/forums

The London Borough of Newham's Heritage Service collects, preserves, promotes and interprets the rich diversity of the heritage of Newham, and makes it accessible to all.

Read about the social, cultural and industrial roots that shape the area, and the regeneration that is now changing the face of the borough.

Why not add your own story to this history?

The site uses multimedia, so broadband is recommended - some of the images and audio files are large if you intend to download them.

The site is best viewed with a minimum screen size of 1024x768 pixels. If you see the text on the right overlapping the main text it means you are (probably) viewing the site on a monitor smaller than this.
