East Ham From 1958
A Memory of East Ham.
I was born and raised in East Ham and was very proud of it. We lived in Friars Road off the Barking Road and moved to Lincoln Road off High Street North. The postcards brought back memories of home. East Ham used to be a very good place to live. I can remember ladies washing their front door steps and paths down every day. As children we used to play in Plashet Park without fear. Sometimes venture to Wanstead Flats with a bottle of orange squash and have a good time. Do you remember the Town Show over Central Park with fireworks at the end. The fair over Wanstead Flats. Going on a boat over Barking Park? The Lido and the little train. It is so sad that the area has changed so much.
