This is Chestnuts Farm formerly owned by the Hitchmans family until the First War and the site of their cornfields and part dairy herd grazing land.
The greater part of the area became the location (and still is) the Walthamstow town hall and assembly hall from 1938 [completed 1940-43] Beneath the town hall in the sub-basement was the London Group 7 Civil Defence ARP operations centre, later becoming the London NE Nuclear Defence HQ should it have been needed. It was only declassified in 1980 by central government. The impressive airlock doors are still in place. '
