  3. MAP

    Walton Memory Map

    The Walton Memory Map is a new illustrated map of Walton-on-the-Naze. It is designed to show the shops and businesses trading in 2025. It is a memory map as it records the names and trades of past Walton shops and attractions. It mainly includes places in living memory and has been compiled from people’s memories, so not every shop has been recorded. We hope the map will be a conversation starter and a way of remembering the unique, independent businesses that have made up the town before. The shop listings have been compiled by Alan Hillier and young and old Waltonians and visitors. The illustrations are by local artist Greg Lashmar using photographs from Putmans archive. It has been produced by The Nose Bookshop and funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The map will be available from The Nose bookshop and from shops and venues around the town centre and the Naze. The map drawings and research will be display at The Nose throughout April. Thank you to all those who shared their memories.

    Max will talk about his journey as told by his maps: how he got started, his motivations, and what he learnt along the way.
