Epping Forest District Museum is delighted to be hosting ‘Reflections of the Past’ an exhibition of historic photographs of Waltham Abbey, collected by Raymond Sears.

Ray was born and has lived in Waltham Abbey all his life and his collection of photographs came out of a desire to celebrate and share the photographic history of the town. First exhibited at King Harold School in 1989, his collection is an ever expanding mixture of personal and donated photographs.

These days,  Ray stages exhibitions regularly in the town, and has published a number of books based on his collection.
