Smell

A Memory of East Ham.

Can anyone remember the smelly old factories? I think there was one one where the fire station is now, also there was some sort of works on the Becton bypass where I was lead to believe from my mum that they boiled up old animal bones, the smell some days in Stokes Road was terrible, then there was the smell from the Thames when you were on the ferry.

I lived in the prefab estate on Beckton Road and you may be talking about the slaughter factory on the old Becton Road. The smell certainly did get a bit 'niffy' during the summer months !
