Our penultimate day in Wood Street Market!  A very good day for stories, as Brian, a Wood Street resident for nearly twenty years dropped in and told many a tale of the good old days in Walthamstow. His suggestion for the future of the area was a regular Farmers' Market to encourage locals to eat better food and cook more regularly.

Lots of families with kids stopping by looking for things to do over the half term. One of my favourite stories of the entire project was left this morning by a five-year-old boy. His story was an imagined event in the history of Walthamstow: a fire that was put out by a magic pony with a hosepipe for a tail. Absolutely ingenious.

It's our last day in Wood Street on Saturday. We're hosting a story trail around Wood Street at noon, leaving from The Collect Project stall. Tea and cakes after so do come down.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to leave a story for The Collect Project.

It's been a pleasure.
