Family History banner

Stamford Brook works with house-historian Melanie Backe-Hansen to help Residents discover the hidden stories of Stamford Brook.

We are very excited to announce the first steps of our family history programme – the Stamford Brook 'House History Initiative'. This intended as the first of a number of projects aimed at connecting the families who live in Stamford Brook today with the people who lived in their homes in times past.

Intended as a project for all ages, we will be providing materials for families and children as well as for more serious historians. The house histories project will work along side similar projects being run in Strand On The Green, Grove Park and Bedford Park with a focus on the personal and family histories of people who have lived here.
