Chigwell History Project
The project was initiated in 2005, by the Berriedale / Chigwell Precinct Committee from a desire to know more about the history of their area, and to bring together members of the Chigwell Community through the collection and recording of community history.
Mt Faulkner Primary, Bucaan Community House (formerly known as Chigwell Community House), Chigwell Youth Group, the Berriedale / Chigwell Community Precinct Committee, and various individuals from the community researched different areas of interest through and alongside a series of workshops with historian Irene Schaffer and artist/photographer Lucia Rossi.
The resulting collection of works combine to create a glimpse into the history of Chigwell and how history can influence a contemporary sense of place.
