Toast

A Memory of East Ham.

The best toast in the world was served by the two old ladies in the Town Hall swimming baths; then you'd come out and go in the library next door. Saturday mornings off to the shack at Brampton Manor, Peter Brewer was the youth leader there. Often wonder what happened to all the old crowd; We use to go down the Odeon in Barking Road or Snooker rooms at the Green Man and of course the central pub. Does any one remember the Galleons Hotel? How about the town show with fireworks in Central Park?

Oh yes, absolutely agree, the best toast in the world accompanied by a cup of bovril. Most welcomed after your swim.
Agree regarding the toast at 6d a slice c.1964. Such big slices and just oozing butter!!
Peter Brewer taught me drama at South East Ham - nice guy. I walked to Galleons station along the old railway line from East Ham (Manor Way) station. It was next to the hotel back in the late 70's. Looked very rough but there was talk of doing it up.
We lived near Central Park and always watched the Town Show firework display from our bedroom window. Also used to lay in bed listening to West Ham speedway on summer evenings if the wind was in the right direction, you could count the laps!
How strange I also remember the wonderful toast after a swim!
