The WellWalk Childrens Theatre Hampstead

Originally built as a Grocers in 1895, the building sits in the heart of Hampstead, a borough of Camden in North London. Run by a grocer and provision merchant called S. Spall and Sons until the 1950’s, the grocers became a commercial heart for the local residents in a time where grocers doubled as community hubs for local news (and gossip!). Cementing its place as a community asset in 1957, the new owners of the building, The Magarshack family, decided to keep it as an outward facing institution when they reopened it as ‘The Well Walk Pottery’ that year. A space initially designed for their ceramically talented youngest son, Christopher, many other potters have walked through the doors of The Well Walk Pottery over the last 6 decades before it once again closed its doors in early 2019 after Christopher’s passing the year before.
