Walthamstow Market being decimated as traders 'lose half their customers'

The market was once considered the pride of E17

Good afternoon everyone,

Walthamstow Market was once thought of as one of E17’s biggest highlights, and is the longest of its kind in Europe. It has so much history behind it, but the market nowadays is not what it once was.

Our reporter Luke went along to the market and spoke to traders and customers, about what has caused its decline - and what can be done about it.

Also in today’s newsletter, we take a look back at Walthamstow during the Second World War, and the time Hitler used one of his new weapons on the area as revenge against Churchill.

Thanks for reading, and for your support as always.

Team E17
