The Newham
Story
The Newham Story is a booklet designed as
an introduction to the history of the area.
This part of East London has only been known as the
London Borough of Newham since 1965, but the booklet records the
progress of the area over the last 150 years. It details the areas
transformation from a rural backwater to a major manufacturing
centre, its subsequent decline and its current regeneration.
The booklet is aimed at past and present residents, teachers and
students, and those who have come to work in the borough who would
like to know something about its past.
