Plashet Grove
A Memory of Upton Park.
Before & during the Second World War my uncle was an electrical engineer & had a shop in Plashet Grove opposite Washington Road. Unfortunately I wasn't born until 1946 & so I have no knowledge of the shop except some photos of it. I know the Duke of Edinburgh pub was on the corner of P.G. & Green Street & suffered a direct hit which, in turn, demolished a whole lot of properties including my uncle's shop. He then moved into Washington Road with my aunt & their son. My mother also moved in with them & after she married my father, in they remained living there. When I came along, we all lived there until my parents & I moved just across the border to Forest Gate, on the Leytonstone boundary.
