East Ham

A Memory of East Ham.

Born in East Ham in 1943. We are 4 sisters. Favourite place was Central Park after school each day. Playing rounders or on the swings with the Parkie blowing his whistle after 10 mins to get off for the next lot to get on. Sunday mornings on the mini golf instead of Sunday school money we went there, mum never knew. She is still going strong 100 years this December, lived in East Ham all her life. Playing down the cellers in Whie horse pub ruins; mum never knew that either. Watching ball room dancing at East Ham town hall, hiding in the gallery with friend Ella whose dad was caretaker for town hall. Many happy memories in East Ham. Not much money but who cared -not the kids!
