More about this scene
Romford Central Library was opened in 1965. The old library was on the other side of the road and had once been the Charity School. The flower beds and war memorial have now been replaced by the roundabout and pedestrian subway and the first houses in Park End Road have been replaced by the extension to the Town Hall.

I lived in and around the Romford area from 1957 until 1979 - I have never been back.
