Chingford Mount Road c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

We moved to Leonard Road Chingford in 1951. I particularly remember the trolley buses and how the poles on the top used to come off and the conductor would get a long bamboo cane from under the bus to rehook the pole onto the electric cable
I also remember Larkswood lido, the Odeon cinema at Chingford Mount. After attending Chase Lane Primary School I went to Wellington Avenue Secondary Modern School near Ridgeway Park. I wonder if it is still there. I used to go conkering in the cemetry on Chingford mount - lots of chestnut trees.
