Greater London memories
It was a long walk to Wanstead Park from where we lived as children. We lived at Stephens Road, Stratford West Ham. Weekends and school holidays Mum would pack a picnic for the six of us, usually jam sandwiches or cheese if Mum had some, and a bottle of orange squash. We also had our jam jars and nets for fishing... [more]

Facing the viewer is the George Public House, which I believe still exists; behind is Wanstead underground station and an open area of grassland leading to Redbridge Lane and my then school, Wanstead County High. The High Street is facing us and leads to Snaresbrook, also with its underground station and also a magistrates court!

Enfield - A History & Celebration
WHAT of Enfield's future? We have already seen that in the first years of the 21st century, redevelopment is probably going to be the by-word. The former offices of Eastern Gas have already undergone a dramatic change: Tower Point is now 11 floors of one- to four- bedroom flats in the main area and a fitness centre at the south end. Plans have already been submitted for the redevelopment... [more]

Enfield - A History & Celebration
The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St George in London Road, originally built in 1901, suffered major damage in the war - it was virtually demolished by a landmine. The site was cleared, and eventually a new church was built in 1956 in a style that would not look out of place in a new town. St Paul's, New Southgate was repaired, and Ponders... [more]
