COVER STAR A Two Pipe Problem A Two Pipe Problem is the alias of a man who works in a space largely untouched by the digital age. If he hadn’t emailed me I would think he had no use even for a computer, but then I suppose he does have a website too. Anyway, his Leyton workshop is packed with drawers of Ps and Qs and every letter and character imaginable fashioned from wood or metal, and his walls are lined with vinyl records. His work is reminiscent of WANTED reward notices, theatre posters and early comic books. It is a tactile world of texture and inky impressions made by the type as it is pressed into or onto the paper and the results are a wonder to behold. It is a place of few words but they are bold and beautifully formed. Here E List enquires further. What’s the story behind the choice of words seen on the E List cover this month? The onomatopoeic sounds on this poster were inspired by a 1950s British superhero called Marvelman. He had a secret word ‘Kimota’ that would turn him from Micky Moran into Marvelman. The other sounds on the print are the sounds that go with the transformation. Where did the name “A Two Pipe Problem” come from? It’s a Sherlock Holmes reference. In the time it takes him to smoke two pipes he can solve a particulary tricky case, whereas only one pipe is needed for an uncomplicated one. It also means I can have fun with the ‘problem’ part of the name, so a recent collaboration between me & Paul Smith is: The Problem with Paul Smith, same goes for M&C Saatchi - the problem with M&C Saatchi and so on… It’s a positive thing rather than negative. What is the attraction of traditional letterpress for you? I use mostly wood rather than metal - it’s all ‘design by moveable type’ though. I love the physical aspect of it and the limitations and challenges are fun too. It’s an interesting way to work. Describe briefly the types of work you get involved in? Right now I’m working with Paul Smith to do a ‘pop up shop’ in October in his Beak Street store and also a show in South Korea - in Paul Smith’s flagship store in Seoul. If people are interested in knowing more, would like to attend one of your workshops or maybe commission a Two Pipe original how can they contact you? My website is the best place to start - www.atwopipeproblem.com

ELCOME to our biggest issue yet! At the risk
of sounding sycophantic and sorry for the cliché but Walthamstow is indeed a place that keeps on giving. I want very much to thank all the people who send in their listings and content each month, because through their community spirit, often for little or no reward, they make this place a great place to live. The end of October sees the beginning of a massive new festival for the borough, Words over Waltham Forest. Words will literally be everywhere: in places you expect like libraries and schools but also in places you may not: in pubs and on the street. They may be spoken, shouted, sung, painted, scribbled or drawn, but they will be everywhere. The majority of the events will be in November, including a rare chance to see Poet Laureate Carol Anne Duffy, but there’s plenty this month with for one the chance to experience the sharp pithy wit of poetry legend John Hegley amongst others at the Rose and Crown on the 30th. Look out too for new work by our local hero, Roger Huddle, who gives an entertaining interview in these pages. Top selling author Martina Cole, who has sold 11 million books since her debut in 1992, will be sharing an insight into her world on the 28th. This month the E List is pleased to welcome Karen Averby with a new regular history column. A few months back Neil Collins wrote a great piece on the history of the Warner estates which proved very popular, and when historian Karen said she’d like to do a regular feature we jumped at the chance. It’s named The Wilcumstowe Times, Wilcumstowe being an ancient name for the town, another being Walthamstow Toni, surely a character from the Fast Show?! Finally we have to bid a, hopefully temporary, farewell to the amazing God’s Own Junkyard, reputedly home of the Europe’s largest collection of neon, forced to move due to the land being acquired by developers. Its owner, Chris Bracey was our Local Hero back in July and since then his fight to find an alternative site for one of Walthamstow’s finest attractions has garnered lots of press coverage in London, nationally and internationally. I popped along a couple of weeks ago for one last look and you literally couldn’t move for all the visitors, many of them from outside Walthamstow. Let’s hope GOJ finds a new home soon, and what’s more that’s it in the area. We wish Chris and the guys well. Paul Lindt, Editor

The Makers - Photographs by Nicola Tree Exploring the relationship between craftspeople and their craft Nicola has produced a series of intimate portraits capturing the act of creating. Shooting on location at workshops and studios across London the series uncovers the individual, intricate and often personal process that is common across the many different crafts. In a world where production has often become an automated soulless procedure the photographs aim to inspire and share the intimate experience of making. They show the rewarding and meaningful existence of craftspeople using their skills to make a living. Rather than ask the subjects to pose formally Nicola has spent time with each one, often over several hours, observing and understanding their process and approach to isolate the moment that they create in. The portraits capture the full spectrum of emotion, ritual and intricacy that have become part of their production process. Portraits from the series will be exhibited alongside work from several of the nine featured makers. Prints and pieces will be available to buy.
The William Morris Gallery Lloyd Park, Forest Road, Walthamstow E17 4PP 5 October - 24 November 2013 Join Nicola for an informal afternoon when she will share some of the stories behind the portraits on 13 October, 2-4pm.

Archaeologist and architectural historian, Karen Averby uncovers curiosities and stories from Walthamstow’s rich and varied past. This month - Walthamstow’s Mansions. When walking around Walthamstow’s residential streets, lined with nineteenth and twentieth century housing it can be difficult to imagine an earlier, rural Walthamstow, a place where wealthy city merchants and businessmen built large mansions, often with spacious grounds, as an escape from the hustle and bustle of London living. Many of them were located on and around Marsh Street (now High Street). Of these, a group of grand seventeenth century houses owned by the same merchant stood on the north side. Clay Street (now Forest Road) was surrounded by mansions set in spacious parks. Perhaps the most well-known is the Water House, rebuilt in the eighteenth century and now home to the William Morris Gallery. Several impressive houses were also situated in Hoe Street. Grosvenor House, built c.1600 and rebuilt in 1789 had an avenue of elms leading from the house to Church Common, while
Portraits that capture you
Court House was an elegant five-bay house of c.1700. Over on Shernhall Street, several mansions from the 1700s and earlier included Shern Lodge and Brookfield, the home of royal mint monyers. Areas close to the forest were popular, especially in the sixteenth century. Later houses included an elegant Regency villa, Belle Vue House, built c.1803. With the exception of the Water House, all of the above have long since been demolished, most to make way for housing developments. Many survivors of such later nineteenth century development fell foul of 1960s and 1970s schemes. But happily, some remain amidst their now urban setting; some are still residences, albeit flat conversions, whilst others have been reutilised in different ways. These include The Chestnuts, Hoe Street, the finest and least altered of Walthamstow’s earlier eighteenth century mansions, and another Chestnuts, in Bishops Close, a grand early nineteenth century building now
divided into flats and surrounded by 1930s maisonettes built in its garden. Orford House on Orford Road, another early nineteenth century example, is now a social club, while its contemporary, The Clock House, survives on Pretoria Avenue, supposedly on the site of the earlier Black House, which gave its name to Blackhouse (later Blackhorse) Lane. Its earlier namesake on Wood Street is an impressive survival from 1703. The eighteenth century Cleveland House, on Hoe Street was used by the council’s health department from 1971, and has since been converted into flats. Of the Shernhall Street mansions, two eighteenth century examples survive: Walthamstow House and Thorpe Combe, which has been used as a hospital since the 1930s. So while it is regrettable that so many of Walthamstow’s fine mansions are lost forever, there are a fair few still standing – you may be fortunate enough to live or work in one! www.archangelheritage.co.uk

SHE BANGS THE DRUM Introducing The Stow Roses, Walthamstow’s first Women’s Institute When an idle tweet sent out in the summer asked ‘If I were to suggest a WI in E17 would I be stoned in the street?” the response was unexpected and overwhelming. The Stow Roses, as the group is called, was formed with a core of six members to get the ball rolling and is holding its inaugural meeting at 7.30pm on Wednesday 2nd October at the Warrant Officer on Higham Hill Road. The Stow Roses now has 259 followers on Twitter and 167 ‘Likes’ on Facebook. The message from the Stow Roses is: “We would love to see as many women as possible coming along to help the Stow Roses develop into an inclusive, interesting and empowering organisation. It’s not going to be jam and Jerusalem, it’s going to reflect the lives and interests of women in Walthamstow.” The launch of Walthamstow’s first WI group goes along with a London-wide trend of burgeoning WI groups in the Capital.

LOCAL HERO
Roger Huddle Working-class radical, co-founder of Rock Against Racism, designer, photographer, perennial student, poet and now a cheery volunteer at the William Morris Gallery, Roger Huddle is the living embodiment of staying local with an eye to wider horizons. Here he chats to Mike Sims.

speech and to enjoy good food – he’d take me to lunch at the V&A. He enrolled me at the London Library and encouraged me into Ruskin College, Oxford. He wanted me to study German – the true language of philosophy – and study at Dresden University. But I didn’t, I got into politics, thanks to the other big influence on my life, my uncle Bill. He was my dad’s brother-inlaw, a communist and a shop steward in the TGWU, and he introduced me to the Workers’ Educational Association. After the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and the Seamans’ Strike of 1966, I moved further and further to the left. I became very involved with the International Socialists, forerunner of the Socialist Workers Party. Tell me about founding Rock Against Racism with Red Saunders… It began as a one-off Rock Against Racism gig at what was then the Princess Alice on the Romford Road with Carole Grimes. It was Eric Clapton’s support for Enoch Powell at a concert in Birmingham in August 1976 that really galvanised things. Our letter to the NME drew a big response, which turned into a really intense two years of concerts and tours against the National Front. Tom Robinson, Misty-inRoots and the great Mutumbi were rock-
solid supporters. You have to remember that, back then, seeing black and white musicians on stage together was still unusual. Funny really – as a jazz fan, I didn’t really like punk but I knew that punk and reggae were the true expression of the white and black working class. Why have you never left Walthamstow? I’m a stick-in-the-mud! No, I’ve stayed because I like the town’s scruffy anarchism – it’s always been like a Wild West town, a settler town, but also comfortable and easygoing. I like some of the changes of the past ten years: Graham Larkeby and his open mic night at the Rose and Crown, the Forest Poets group I’m involved with, the Rose & Crown. I don’t want Walthamstow to lose its scruffiness though. The middle classes who’ve moved in over the past few years – I hope we get to them, roughen their edges, before they get to us. Last question then – Walthamstow’s best-kept secret? Epping Forest because people don’t know how near it is. I like its wonderful silences and the sense of enclosure. All my earliest memories are of playing in the forest. It’s where you see the seasons change – you don’t get that on Hoe Street.

So, Roger, Walthamstow born and bred? I’m a lifelong resident – born in Thorpe Coombe Maternity Hospital on Forest Road, then off to mum and dad’s at 44 Havant Road, near Wood Street. I went to Woodside Primary and Warwick Secondary. And yet everything you’ve ever done in life was about getting away… Walthamstow was so boring! When I was young there was nothing apart from the cinema. Having failed the 11-plus, I left school in 1961, age 15, to become an apprentice compositor at a printers in Clerkenwell. (If you failed the 11-plus, your future was in a factory.) I was in what was known as the general trade – printing everything except newspapers. I was sent on day release to Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, which was the formative experience of my life. A tutor, Mr Mahon, really pushed me and got me properly interested in typography and art. I loved art school, the smell of linseed and oil paint – never mind the art school girls. Though to me aged 15, they seemed like Amazons. In the library I fell in love with books, reading Grapes of Wrath in a Penguin edition with beautiful typography by Jan Tschichold. I’d wander out at lunchtime – which I’ve done all my life – and end up in record shops, listening to free jazz, R&B and Blue Beat. Everything that was important to me came together: art, music and politics. And you’ve never really left education behind, have you? I’m the old stereotype: I left school with one O Level, Art, but I’ve been lucky. Early on I had “patrons”, if you can call them that. One was Ellic Howe, a print buyer and a highly cultured German Jew. One day he came into the comp room and found me reading Sophocles (not understanding a word I expect). He really encouraged me. He gave me a copy of Betrand Russell’s ‘History of Western Philosophy’, which I still have. My mum and dad thought Ellic ruined me – but he didn’t. He taught me to slow down my

Walthamstow Diary
I.K. CONSTRUCTION
An established construction company specialising in extensions, loft conversions and internal refurbishments.
Between forest and marsh lies the glorious Stow. These are the tales and meanderings of a proud resident of E17 There always seems to be something happening in E17, so much so that a friend once said to me that “living in Walthamstow is a full time job”. Each month there is something different to keep us occupied, from exhibition openings to events like the Art Trail and the recent Appetite festival. Life here is never dull and September was no exception. A flick through the listings pages of last month’s E List proved there was no shortage of things to do, but September for me was all about murals and music. The third Stow Festival kicked off on the 6th September, their strap line was ‘Music Takes Over Walthamstow’ and they did just that. If you didn’t make it to any of the Stow Festival gigs or events then you missed out on a treat. Lots of local venues took part including the Rose & Crown, Chequers and the Hornbeam Cafe on Hoe Street. On Saturday 7th September I popped up to the town square to see the Walthamstow Acoustic Massive play and I wasn’t disappointed. A pretty big crowd turned up and the Stow Festival really did take over Walthamstow. After some slightly undignified bopping in the Town Square, I headed down the High Street to the marshes and spent the rest of the afternoon under a railway arch. Doesn’t sound very exciting I know but the 7th was also the launch event for the amazing Mural on the Marsh. This project has transformed an unwelcoming, graffiti covered underpass into something beautiful. The mural includes a kestrel, cows, foxes and many other animals that live on the marsh. If you haven’t seen it yet, it really is worth taking the time to go and pay it a visit (see pages 2 and 3).
“living in Walthamstow is a full time job”
What do the Stow Festival and Mural on the Marsh have in common? Both these projects involve Walthamstow residents who wanted to do something positive for the area. Thankfully neither of them stopped at the ideas stage and both the festival and mural help to make Walthamstow a more interesting place to live. www.walthamstowdiary.com

‘How can I thank enough the two teenagers in Higham Hill Park who helped me with my son when he was having a seizure yesterday? They helped carry him to his little brother’s nursery; a safe place where he could recover and wait for an ambulance. You were stars, reacting so fast and so selfless and certainly made your parents and Walthamstow proud. I don’t know whether I could have managed without you! Thank you and god bless you! xxxx’ Anita: Teenagers get a bad press but there’s plenty of good uns out there. Hope your son’s ok too x Chris: I find teenagers in the Stowe generally lovely! Mind you, I treat them with the same politeness and respect I treat adults, and it’s more often reciprocated! Marcia: Wow, that’s such a lovely thing to read. I’m so glad your son is OK and you’ve restored by faith in teenagers 19 308 View the full thread: fb.me/1SwY4ewX8 ‘Just to let the commuters that walk to Blackhorse Road station via Hawarden Road know, that the fluffy white cat (Bailey), that so many stopped to stroke and speak to, was sadly run over and is no longer with us. He made many a person smile on their journey to and from the station for 8 years. He will be very much missed by many!! RIP Bailey x’ Rachel: Awwww. My daughter literally squeals every time she sees him. Poor Bailey. Alex: Oh no… I loved that cat! Catherine: On no, poor thing he was a legend and never knew it RIP 30 16 fb.me/O0eWDmo9
‘To the ignorant cyclist who shouted at me and banged on my car roof at Leyton Green, just because you wanted me to move so you could cut in and out of the stationary traffic waiting at the red light. You startled and frighten me!!!!! Well done you plonker. You are the type of cyclist who gives the decent law abiding cyclist a bad name in this current climate. You were really brave banging and shouting at a female driver. Wonder if you would have been so brave had I been a man???’ 24 40 View the full thread: fb.me/KQ4MafOt ‘I may have embarrassed a lady at Lloyds Park today and no, I’m not sorry. I was walking behind her when her dog stopped by a bench and crapped. She watched him do it then called him and walked off. When she stopped ahead to chat to her friend I put a poo bag in her hand (empty!), told her she had no excuse not to pick it up and walked off leaving her open mouthed.’ Maile: I used to look forward to picking up my dogs poo on days like these...readymade hand warmer! 32 192 View the full thread: fb.me/10pX10ebu ‘Now that The Stow is becoming all trendy, I’ve come up with a couple of new names for the less well known but lovely areas of the borough. I would love my area to be called “The Markhouse Quarter” and perhaps we could have “Lea Bridge Village” as well. Any other ideas?’ Other suggestions included: The Bell End, Cheval Noir (Blackhorse Road), Higham Hill Village, Chingford Borders, Walthamstow Marina (Marshes), Mattress Manor, The Chicken Run (Hoe Street), The Bakers Arse. 94 54 View the full thread: fb.me/6pp0UyC72
‘Would like to thank the Lloyd Park Garden Volunteers for working hard to make the park a nicer place.’ 60 View the full thread: fb.me/2o9oPTKak ‘Just want to say that the neighbours in Cornwallis Road E17 are the best. They all came out rallying to help a fellow neighbour to pack, down-size, calm her down and be there as a friend as she sadly had to move. Thank you Bedroom Tax!!! I’m really going to miss her but what great neighbours/ community we are. It’s sad that something like this brings us together xxx’ Tracey: Its bloody disgusting poor woman I’m tryin to down size myself but can’t, bloody government x Steve: I’m sure some of *my* neighbours would rally to help me to downsize, if I left the window open wide enough. 43 3 View the full thread: fb.me/HtKSFOas ‘Hello folks. Is it only me who keeps seeing rats swimming with bread in their mouths in Lloyd Park, or am I hallucinating?’ Alexa: As long as they aren’t savaging small children or eating puppies let them enjoy their sandwiches in peace! Linda: Don’t now about Lloyd Park, but I did see a rat the size of the moon trotting across the bus station with what looked like half a piece of fried chicken stuffed in its mouth last weekend. Jolene: Have the rats not heard about the gentrification? What the hell are they still doing here?? 10 28 View the full thread: ow.ly/on6aN
