Updates and a new domain

This site now has a new domain (wilmotst.com) along with a rework of the design and layout. Over the coming months I’ll be reworking some of the older posts with more detailed information and updated research. I’ll also be hopefully adding some new posts on a few topics that I’ve been researching.

The mission of this site is to collect together as much information as possible about the 135 year history of the Waterlow Estate. Over the years I’ve dug up various small details and facts that are scattered through books, archives and other websites, I’m collecting them together here for others to enjoy.

As ever I’m really keen to hear from anyone who lived in the Estate in the past, I’m sure that people must have photographs of the buildings (both interior and exterior) which I would be really excited to see and hopefully share on this site.

Please get in touch via the comments with any information or corrections.
