We'll be reading books at least 50 years old - after all sometimes it's interesting to read a book a bit different from what's on the bestsellers list. The idea is to meet on the 1st Sunday morning of every month at 11 for chat about the book and life the universe and everything over a coffee/ drink/ brunch/ whatever. I have a regular venue in mind (near tube, roomy, cheapish, hopefully not noisy.)

Looking back, things started to go downhill when the established families were forced to move from the victorian terraces (Spey St, Teviot Street) which were demolished to make way for modern maisonettes, etc. I have some happy memories of the early days, but couldn't leave quick enough at the end. 15+ years later, I often wonder what has become of the area now. Post reply -->London Bromley-by-Bow p.d. 27 Apr Bromley-by-Bow Tower Hamlets is a horrible place because...the council cannot be bothered to clean it. Yes, I am refering once again to ...St Leonards Cemetery/Park. Come on, all of you reading this email. Have you got ten minutes to spare? Just email a complain to the local council, so at least they are aware of it, as we have to be every time we walk next to it! The fact that they don't own it is not excuse enough! What do we pay taxes for, I wonder.

Just phone 02073646790 and place a complain or write to your local council in Mulberry Place 5 Close Crescent London W14 2bg Post reply -->London Bromley-by-Bow Ainhoa Dewey 26 Apr ^ Bromley-by-Bow St leonards adventure parkI overlook the cemetery in St Leonards and i am fed up with the the yappy dog that barks non stop every afternoon, the owner dont pick up the dog shi8. Then theres the little gang of boys, who nick a moped then drive it around non stop till the petrol run's out only then to set light to the moped. It would be good 4 the place to be cut down a little and cleaned up. I would also like to know who is buried in the tomb at the far side of the place!! Post reply -->London Bromley-by-Bow Tonitjm@aol.com 8 May ^ Bromley-by-Bow re St Leonards Cemetery, for the record...A whole year has gonne by and the message regarding barking dog, dog's shi8, and kids with mopeds is as relevant as ever. For the record, I wasted a lot of months contacting the Church of England and our lovely council. Whereas the former did actually send a team of people twice to cut the grass and such, the later, a.k.a our lovely council, has simply refused to liaise with the Church in order to turn the place into a decent green space. I have run out of hope, but if you can be bother at all, send your complains to our local authority. Disgraceful.

My in-laws were married ther in 1943 and my husband was baptised ther in 1944. I was trying to get a photo of it for the family scrapbook. Post reply -->London Bromley-by-Bow churchjan Bromley-by-Bow probably the worst place in the country to live inI lived in B-B-B for 8 months when i first moved to london and i found it awful. for a start there is a choking "motorway" runs right through the middle and leaves your bogies grey after a walk to the tube every morning. DLR is a joke. I found the people pretty unfriendly. but it is a place of unimaginable ugliness so I guess like attracts like. I got to know a couple of people on the estate where I used to live (Aberfeldy, in case you're still thinking of moving there) and they gave me an idea of the social make up of the people, imigrants (nothing wrong with that), junkies, weirdos, national front, and i guess people who can't afford to live anywhere else. (like me at the time). I rented a house with 5 friends for £50 each. if you really have to then do it but its not for the faint hearted as the streets are deserted at night everyones too scared to be on the streets seemingly. if you want to live central and in the east end then consider Bow, the Roman Road end its great and a bi Post reply -->London Bromley-by-Bow |
