St James Park, Walthamstow. The park was designed in the same way as Selborne recreation ground, rectangular, trees planted around the outside and a wooded avenue running at a slight diagonal line in the centre. It was built on Low Hall farm land.

Strangely, although derelict the stadium appears in better shape than photos dated 1947 ?

Hello cptpies, As a local historian in Waltham Forest I would like to get accuracy and references for this site on behalf of the borough museum(Vestry House, Walthamstow).

I can totally agree with the appearance of the visible lay-out as a AA Battery, seeming to be 4 or 5 seperate placements around a 360 degree circle. However, the named location is not Hackney Marshes - so is it Battery ZE21? Or a different battery?

The exact location by name, then and today, is Low Hall Sports ground, South Access Road.The Walthamstow Marshes are to the left of the double section railway line running NW to SE across the picture. This is definite because to the right of the battery is the Low Hall SG pavilion and cricket pitch(still there today), and to the left running round in a semi-circle is the famous 'Hall Farm Curve', a single line joining the Cambridge branch on the lower angle(from Stratford) to the Liverpool Street to Chingford line on the upper section.

Can you name the source of the HAA Battery locations for London? It may also have given a location for a seperate 'Z' rocket battery which was on Hackney Marshes about a mile further south.

That's ZE19 Walthamstow. Had two square pits of unusual design added to the four? original pits.



Hackney ZE21 (both of them) is to the West.
