The Walbrook Story

Summary

"Walbrook is a housing association; indeed, a key part of The Walbrook Group is Walbrook Housing Association. But it is much more than that. It is an attitude to people in need which helps them maintain their self-respect and dignity; it is an attitude which sees barriers as challenges; it is an approach to working with people that starts by listening to them. To say that Walbrook is a housing association based in Derby is nothing but the truth, but it is far from being the whole truth. This book is divided into two main parts: a timeline and a history. The timeline is almost entirely factual, and as accurate as it can be. It gives the reader a picture of how Walbrook grew, when certain significant people came and went - and which twigs turned into branches and which withered and died. In the absence of any significant archive, and given the effect of time upon the memories and bodies of ""those who were there"", the timeline will become the definitive version of events."
