On 12 April, the weekend before all shops were able to open with the easing of lockdown, the Volunteer Community Photographers took portraits of local businesses and spoke to the shopkeepers and workers about Newham Heritage Month’s theme of Shops, Docks and factories.
I like the theme of Shops – especially now as everyone, every small shop needs the support of the community – Nikolett owner of Chimney Cake Paradise




Newham Heritage Month would like to thank our team of Volunteer Community Photographers – Greg Caballero, Mayowa Soluade, Bea Erdelyszky, Binal Patel, Chris Topher, Armony Bonney, Dionne Lynch, Gabriela Belmar-Valencia and Sarah Swanston. And to Photographer Keith Martin for his support of the group.
Read more about our volunteers in blogs written by Greg Caballero, a resident of Newham for 40 years and Binal Patel who moved to the area in 2018.
We would like to send you monthly emails spotlighting heritage content in Newham, as well as updates and opportunities to be involved in next year's festival. Be the first to hear about new projects, funding opportunities and ways to be involved.
