Raw Materials: Wood – Exhibition at the Nunnery Gallery

The first in a series of Raw Materials exhibitions at the Nunnery Gallery, which will delve into the history of the local River Lea valley through the ‘raw materials’ that paved the way for the area’s extensive and important industrial development. Beginning with the material wood, the exhibition will bring together archival objects – many of which are not usually on public display from photographs to cabinet-makers tools, painting a vivid picture of this important, and increasingly less-visible, part of east London’s history. Follow wood on it's journey from London's docks to timber yards and furniture factories that once aligned the River Lea.
