THE Walthamstow Historical Society is to hold two guided walks of the Wood Street area later this month.

The events, which are free to attend, take place on Sunday June 16 at 2pm and again on Tuesday June 19 at 11am.

They both start from outside Wood Street Library on the corner of Forest Road and Wood Street.

The area is one of the borough's oldest shopping streets and in the early 20th Century was also host to a number of film studios.

The walks are the latest in a series organised by the society.
