Ray was born and lived in Waltham Abbey all his life. His interest in local history and collection of old photographs and memorabilia are legendary.
He staged exhibitions regularly in the town, and has published a number of books based on his collection, some of these in collaboration with Jonathan.
Ray's final collaboration with Jonathan 'Waltham in Wartime' was published in May 2018.
Jonathan was born in Bristol and taught art and photography in Waltham Abbey at King Harold School between 1980 and 2013.
His collaboration with Ray has resulted in a number of highly successful photographic exhibitions, and the joint publication of the ‘Reflections of the Past’ series.
Jonathan also has a range of cards available through the Waltham Abbey Archive section of his 'Love From The Artist' website.
Reflections of the Past celebrates through old photographs the social history of Waltham Abbey, a small and proud west Essex market town. It draws on Ray's remarkable collection of photographs and memorabilia. The collection came out of his desire to celebrate and share the photographic history of the town.
It remains an ever expanding mixture of personal and donated photographs.
The King Harold School Archive has been removed from this site to maintain its integrity and to protect the images of our students from possible misuse.The school archive will be donated to The Essex Record Office in Chelmsford.
