In September the Council published Waltham Forest’s updated ‘Local Heritage List’. This list celebrates the buildings and structures that have architectural, historical or cultural significance, which make the borough a special place with a distinctive character. The aim of the document is to highlight unique and interesting places, raising awareness about the borough’s history and the sites that are valued locally.
In the previous list the Highams Park area was not well represented, so the Highams Park Planning Group consulted local residents for suggestions and submitted a list of 46 proposed additions along with photos and details of each suggested addition to the Council for review. The Council accepted 19 of the proposed additions and has now added them to the Local Heritage List.
The Council has prepared a comprehensive document with details of all the heritage assets across the borough. The assets are listed by ward so they are easy to find. You can view the list by clicking on the link below.

We would like to extend our special thanks to local resident Sharlene Sarolli who led on this project for HPPG and gave a presentation about which assets were proposed at HPPG’s AGM on Wednesday 9th October. You can view Sharlene’s presentation by clicking on the link below.
