Some Chingford Walls - Residents Discussion

Some Chingford Walls - Residents Discussion

This event is all about bringing the community together to chat about the burr walls in Chingford, their value and history, why and how we can care for them.

Do you have a burr wall? Do you know anything about them? What do you think of them? Whether you've noticed them passing by, or you are a resident with a burr wall or simply want to learn more, please do join us at 228 Chingford Mount Rd for a lively discussion with your fellow residents. Let's share our thoughts, ideas, and any information we might have about them. See you there!

Some Chingford Walls is a community research project led by local illustrator Rachel Lillie, about everyday heritage and the value we place on seemingly mundane things.

The focus of the project is on a particular type of residential wall familiar to Chingford. Known as ‘burr’ walls, they are made of re-used ‘waster’ bricks from the many brickworks that were once a common part of the landscape. The walls are an important part of our local heritage and a facinating detail of our streets.
