The George Hotel c1948
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

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!

A memory of Wanstead in Greater London shared on Friday, 20th October 2006.

RE: RE: The George PH, Wanstead

1948-1950 is the most exact date for this photograph. The bus has a cream surround to the upper deck windows and the abbreviated destination display. By 1955 the cream surround had gone and the full destination display was in use.
