Barking Road, c.1965
A Memory of East Ham.
The photograph on Barking Road c1965 brought back some childhood memories. I was born in Dukes Court in 1955. I can remember the shops in the photo, the Fish & Chip shop, Johns the Greengrocer's, Walkers, Aflecks, the Dry Cleaners on the corner. Before the Fish & Chip shop was Pat & Ken's (Eagle sewing machines), Burlin's, the oil shop & Woods the Bakers. We used to queue outside Woods for the hot bread & bags of broken biscuits.
Where have all those happy years gone & what has happened to East Ham?
