Vestry House Museum, Local history museum in Walthamstow, London.
The Vestry House Museum displays artifacts, photographs, and documents chronicling the development of the Waltham Forest area through multiple centuries.
Constructed in 1730 as a workhouse and later serving as a police station, this Grade II listed building transformed into a museum in 1931.
The museum's exhibits present the industrial heritage of East London, including the manufacturing traditions that shaped local communities over generations.
Located within walking distance from Walthamstow Central station, the museum remains closed until 2026 for an extensive revitalization project.
The museum maintains records of Beryl Swain, the first female solo motorcycle racer at the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy race in 1962.
