Reflections of the Past celebrates through old photographs the social history of Waltham Abbey, a small and proud west Essex market town.
It draws on Ray Sears' extensive knowledge of the town and on his remarkable collection of photographs and memorabilia.
This site will also be the home of the King Harold School photographic archive.

Scotland, you a welcome here. All our members are at
different stages of their family history, some have only
just started and some have been researching for many years.
Abbey Genealogy Enthusiasts meet on the 3rd Wednesday of
each month at Waltham Abbey Library. We are building up a
records section of Census, Parish Records, Directories and
BMD material. The census returns for the area are already
available on site, however, the collection is being expanded
to cover the county and other counties that the members are
researching.

The
Twentieth Century Society
The TCS exists to safeguard the heritage of architecture and
design in Britain from 1914 onwards. One of the Society's
prime objectives is education, with education comes
appreciation. With conservation, another prime objective,
comes the continued opportunity for extending our knowledge
about those buildings or artifacts, whether important or
humble, rare or commonplace as the red telephone kiosk, that
characterise the Twentieth Century in Britain.
The
Victorian Society
A national society responsible for the study and
protection of Victorian and Edwardian architecture and other
arts. It was founded in 1958 to fight the then widespread
ignorance of nineteenth and early twentieth century
architecture. Among its thirty founder members were John
Betjeman and Nikolaus Pevsner.
Ancient
Monuments Society
Founded in 1924 for the study and conservation of ancient
monuments, historic buildings and fine old
craftsmanship. We are recognised as one of the National
Amenity Societies, and as such are informed of any application
for listed building consent in England and Wales involving
demolition.
Pevsner
Architectural Guides
The Pevsner Architectural Guides (Buildings of England,
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), published by Penguin
Books, were begun in 1951 by the architectural historian Sir
Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-83) with the aim of providing an
up-to-date portable guide to the most significant buildings in
every part of the country. They are the leading architectural
guide and a unique resource.
