London Borough of Newham Heritage Service

The London Borough of Newham Heritage Service is a public service run by the London Borough of Newham. It runs the Newham Local Studies and Archives Library in Stratford, London and administers the Newham Photos website^[1] and the former collections of the Passmore Edwards Museum and the North Woolwich Old Station Museum, both now closed. ^[2] Although much of those collections has been transferred to other institutions (such as Godfrey Kneller's 1721 The Harvey Family^[3]), the collection run by the service is still substantial and includes significant holdings of Bow porcelain and of artworks by the outsider artist Madge Gill.^[2] Some items from the collection are on loan to House Mill.
