My wife was born in Ilford, but lived in Chingford till 1964. From about 1957-64 her mother ran a confectioners/tobacconist which also sold Green Line tickets, and they lived above the shop. I believe it's the second or third shop past the corner on the left, if that is roughly no.77., and if that is Mount Avenue on the left. My wife used to teach piano in an upstairs room - she passed grade 8 in 1959 aged 16.
