1995 Colour Part 6 \u2013 Waltham Forest: Continuing my series of colour pictures I made in 1995. The previous post, Part 5 – Waltham Forest<\/a> looked at panoramic images I made in that London Borough, but I also made images in colour using one of my Olympus OM4 cameras with a normal aspect ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of these images were made with wide-angle lenses , 21mm, 28mm and 35mm shift, but I also had a 50mm standard lens and a short telephoto. They were taken on various Fuji colour negative films but in the days before digital there was no EXIF data to record focal lengths or exposure details. Occasionally the 21mm revealed itself by recording one of my fingers in the right hand lower corner of the frame, a mistake rather too easy to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Walthamstow<\/a>\n<\/div>

You can see larger versions of all these pictures and others from the same year in my Flickr album 1995 London Colour <\/a>– from which the images in this post are embedded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Walthamstow<\/a>\n<\/div>

Some years later I covered a protest at Walthamstow Stadium<\/a> against its demolition. The final race had been held in 2008 and planning permission was given in 2012 for its replacement by almost 300 homes, but the Grade II listed facade in my pictures here was retained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Lea<\/a>\n<\/div>

I imagine this shop window in Chingford may have been inspired by the races at Walthamstow Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Cuddles<\/a>\n<\/div>
Cuddles Creche, The Drive, Walthamstow, Waltham Forest, 1995, 95c03-231<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The illustration very much reflects the multicultural nature of London and I liked the name ‘Cuddles’. It was probably at times rather noisy inside and perhaps needed as the notice by the door stated you knock on the door rather than ring the bells between 12.30 and 2 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Shops,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Shops, Chingford Rd, Chingford Mount, Waltham Forest, 1995, 95c02-224<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"Artist,<\/a>\n<\/div>

There was quite a lot of fine work in shop windows in London, particularly in areas in the north east with large Greek, Turkish, Kurdish or Cypriot heritage communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Southend<\/a>\n<\/div>
Southend Rd, North Circular Rd, Walthamstow Ave, South Chingford, Waltham Forest, 1995, 95c02-335<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The North Circular Road runs across the borough and is a significant barrier to movement with relatively few bridges crossing it. Getting to places just over the road can mean a significant detour for people on foot. This fine 1930s building was a dairy company which delivered milk over a wide area. It has now lost its green tiles and is a Holiday Inn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More in a later post. You can also find black and white pictures I took in the same area in 1995, starting on page 5 of my album 1995 London Photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
