Blue Plaques to tell stories of working class experience
English Heritage will commemorate the Match Girls’ strike with a blue plaque later this year. The plaque will mark the place in Bow where around 1,400 women walked out of the Bryant and May match factory in 1888 in protest at the dismissal of three co-workers, low pay and dangerous working conditions. Working with white phosphorus, the employees were in danger of developing ‘Phossy jaw’, a disease that could cause catastrophic injuries, disfigurement and even death.

We’re restoring the garden at Wrest Park over the next few years. When Wrest Park came into our care in 2006, several features within the garden had been lost to view or compromised, although many of the garden buildings and some of the original structural planting remained. We are now half-way through an ambitious 20-year plan to reinstate the detail, scale and proportions of the gardens, and reintroduce the most appropriate planting for each character area. Explore the timeline to see some of the work we have done so far to revitalise Wrest Park.
