Description
Vestry House Museum holds a vast photographic archive, with 80,000 historic photographs of the local area. This exhibition reveals one of the Museum’s most significant collections – the work of Victorian photographer and Leytonstone-resident Alfred Wire.
Wire started taking photographs in the early 1860s, long before photography became an accessible hobby. He captured local life – children’s games in the school yard, the streetlife of Leytonstone, the fair at Wanstead flats, Epping Forest, Southend-on-Sea and much more. The exhibition will include many previously unseen photographs, shedding new light on the local area in the years leading up to the First World War.
