The new display titled ‘Churchill and the District’ will showcase a selection of photographs, many provided by the Churchill Archives Centre, of Churchill canvassing, addressing crowds and celebrating election victories in Epping, Loughton, Chigwell and Waltham Abbey. The display opens Saturday 16 November.
