High Road, Leytonstone

A Memory of Leytonstone.

I lived at 536 High Road, Leytonstone. It was a shirt factory where my father worked as a ban saw cutter; the shirts he made were for Beverley Hills and above the factory were the offices, and the floor above those was our flat. I used to play with the corrugated paper rolls and find lots of photos in the basement of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. I went to Godwin Road School, Davies Lane, then finally Whitehall School, now Forest Gate Hugh School. I wish I had photos of those times, mine went up in flames when my mother died, by my step dad, sadly. Name was Mitchell then.
