Post or Ask something here in 'West Ham' West Ham Information wanted - C Boardman & SonsI am researching some furniture I have and wondered if anyone had any knowledge of Boardman & Sons, who were drapers and furniture suppliers at the turn of the last century and who had a shop on Broadway. I would dearly love to know who supplied their furniture and if there are any surviving catalogues of the time. Can any one help me please? (I hope I have the right area!) Thank you.

We sold the cafe in 1969 and it was bought and boarded up by Pages (newsagent next door) until it was demolished when the station was enlarged. My Mum and Dad (Fred and Jean Barratt) moved from Cardiff to Manor Road in 1952 with my two elder sisters, Carole and Lorraine, two more girls were born in Forest Gate hospital, Vivienne and Olwen and then I was the last to be born, Peter. We all went to Manor Road School, Carole went off to a Secondary Modern in Plaistow, Lorraine to Stratford Grammar, Vivienne to East Ham Grammar and Olwen and me to Barking Abbey Comprehensive (we had moved by then). Anyone remember my family at all?

Di Canio - Charlton Post reply -->London West Ham dream team West Ham Our dilemmaSorry people but Glen Roeder is the problem here. He may present himself well , and I dont like him being ill but Seb Schemmel has a point , there were some problems with selection in the early part of last season which brought on loss after loss after draw. This was down to bad management , Trevor Brooking did show that given the right impetus this/that team had the ability to remain in the premiership I watched them at Wycombe - really really bad display. Byrne at back - please help dont let it happen Repka is still the same old self , lunging in one minute , "help ref" the next.David James needs 2 months rest , he isnt right mentally for the job.Kanoute looked out of sorts , with the exception of 15 mins in the second half Wycombe rang the show.Dailly - oh dear They are not going to get back to the premiership at this first attempt Come on West Ham , give it a go Post reply -->London West Ham West Ham tracing family in west hamI am looking for any descendants of the Baxter and Angus families in the West Ham area, late l800's and l900's.

Post reply -->London West Ham Nick 2 Sep ^ West Ham Costcutter???^ West HamIve lived in America for the last 40 years but when I lived in West Ham there were loads of amateur teams. I was born in Canning Town in 1924 and went to South Hallsville School, even won 2 medals there, we won the cup one year and the next year we won the leauge, a great feeling when you are only 10 and 11 years old.I spent 4 years in the RAF and after the war I played football for a number of amateur teams and have a number of medals to prove it, then I left England, first for 3 years in New Zealand, then to America. Getting back to Football what about all the teams that play on Hackney Marsh? We played there Sunday mornings , there were more than 40 matches going on at the same time, needless to say the pitches were the smallest allowed leagally and only about 2 or 3 feet in between them, no goal nets so you can imagine chasing balls from the other games , Has that all finished? If so that's a shame for we had a lot of fun. Mail-me Post reply -->London West Ham Frederick 1 May ^ West Ham doctor in westhamthere is a doctor just along the Manor Road.
