Green Street Heritage Trail

Henry VIII Social Social Club is formed of local residents who have previously delivered projects around Arts, heritage and culture. This new project aims to create a series of plaques across a number of key sites of historical significance along the borders of the Boleyn and Green Street East Wards.

These plaques will commemorate eight to ten sites within the neighbourhood, with a brief description of the site engraved onto the plaque. The trail will also include a digital tool using QR codes, linking each plaque to a short video description of each site.

Examples of sites to be included in this trail include the old West Ham United football ground, Queens Market, Newham bookshop on Barking Road as well as other sites including places of worship. These sites all contributed significantly towards the rich culture and diversity of the ever changing Green Street Neighbourhood.

The project will be complimented by walking tours of the trail which will be ongoing beyond the scope of this project.
