He sadly passed on the day England beat Australia at Rugby I always called him the gentle giant
Does anybody remember The Happy Holiday programme during the school holidays. I actually lived in Goodall Rd Leyton. I was first in the small children and was moved to junior school Downsal Rd. Regards Michael.
I was an apprentice with Eddie .we worked for JJ deans ruckholt.sad.
All I know of that firm Is that they moved from Leyton to Tottenham and in the 60's and have since seized trading. They had one famous employee a driver called Dave Clark from the band Dave Clark 5. My Dad has a company bottle complete with stopper.

My family moved from Leyton in 69, leaving Ruckholt Manor and friends behind. It's nice to see some comments about goings-on.
Try the Leyton Tech near in the old town hall its great, realy good fun.
Stop and look around, Leyton is on the up, it has good bars like the Tech Bar great place beats anything around it...full of trendy people not stuck up social climbers like Orford road E17.
Walthamstow is vile there is nothing there and the only bars are iron bars...what rot you talk....Leytonhas a great bar called the Tech Bar, beats any thing in dirty filthy stow.
Hello
I was at Goodall Road School roundabout the same time as you. I remember the teachers you mention but I was in Mr Chapman's class. I certainly remember the headmaster Mr Chapman and Miss Jones. Miss Moss used to take the girls for needlework but she was never a very happy lady!
You might remember me - my name at that time was Irene Stagg and I am in touch with another ex-pupil who was there at the same time. If you remember me please contact me and let me know your name. Regards.

The area you are talking about is fine it is right by Abbots Park that is now a great place and the housing is good. Many people slag of the area because they don't or can't afford to live here. I have lived here for 11 years and had no trouble at all. Good move mate.
You will hear lots of sirens going off because of Whips X hospital NOT cop cars DUH.
Good move I have to say. You will get a good house for a low price at the moment but it is on the way up. I moved to Leyton 11 years ago well before the Olympics. I bought my house for £211,000, bought it because it had every thing still inside it fire places etc. I had my house valued last week and it is now worth £410,000. The area in some parts are still a bit rough, but getting better. The council is spending eye watering amounts in the area, doing up shops facilities etc. Best place to live is on the Barclay Estate, good houses good flats and very quiet but close to every thing, Victoria Line and Central Line are both 10 min walk away and the woods and lakes a 5 min walk and West Fields is just 1.5 miles away. So well done if you do move here and good luck if you don't.
Cheers
Gary

Leyton is a great place to live and any body who slags it off clearly does not live here, and soon they won't be able to a ford to. Leyton has a fantastic history right up to this very day as our future Queen's grandparents lived in Leyton. The Barclay bank family lived here,hence the Barclay Estate. The wonderful Elizabeth Fry part of the Frys chocolate family who started off the Quakers from here along with the Gurneys hence Gurney Drive. On my road Matlock Road both the Ross brothers grew up. (Jonathon and his brother) Tony Hadley's (Spandau Ballet) aunt lived on Matlock Road. The area is improving every day. So all those people who don't like the area, you will lose out. WFC bless them have tried very hard to bring up the area and it's working. So come live in Leyton learn its history its fascinating. Thank you.
And where would you go??
Every one know the estate you talk about WAS bad and is now demolished, why did you live there in the first place?
I am a teacher and have taught in and around East London, Leyton. If you check the league tables you will be surprised.
As this person does not live in Leyton they have very little right to comment.
Leyton is not boring and there is so much to do deff for families and the open spaces are amazing. Leyton flats with woods lakes and boating house. And near all the amenities you could think of, 20 mins from West End 10 from the City and 5 from Olympic Park and West Fields.Why not stop you care and get out and walk about you will change your mind.
I have live in Leyton. The housing stock is mainly Victorian and Edwardian with some fantastic features. Albeit some people have removed every features and replaced them with those disgusting plastic doors and window.(this brings the price down) The area is progressing. 20 mins from West End 15 from the City and 5 mins from the Olympic Park and West Fields. Best place to buy is the Barclay Estate and any road off the estate. Right by lakes woods and Epping Forest. The WFC is making huge in roads to bring the area up and its working. WARNING: House prices are now on the up. I bought my house in 2001 for £211,000 and it was valued last week for an eye watering £410,000 and they are going up every day.Houses are being snapped up like no ones business. Good houses are only on the market for 2 weeks and then GONE. So if you are thinking about this area I strongly suggest you buy NOW. Soon it will be out of many peoples reach.

My dad Peter Newton (still alive) was at goodall road from 1943 to 1946 and used to use the shelters during raids. He got the cane from Larry Lester and he still says he wad the best headmaster ever. He played for the school football and cricket team and Larry Lester used to cheer them on at Eton Manor on a saturday morning.

Miss Coates seemed to be my form mistress for most of that time any memories of her would be appreciated. please contact if you can

i've just had my loft insulated and also done up soo very nicely that i can use the space i never knew i had before,by a very nice man,handymanjoe from walthamstow, how cool is that? the whole house is now soo nice and warm,
i first called him to do some painting and put up some shelves i had because i needed the space,while we were discussing the work,i mentioned my heatint bill,he said i should have my loft insulated,i said i needed more storage place and did not know what to do,he said the loft could be done up properly to be used as more storage place,i said it would be too expensive to convert it,he said not at all,as am not using it as an extra room,after a few quotes from other people,i went with handymanjoe,his price was less than half the nearest quote,but best of all,he was the most polite and helpful tradesman i have ever dealt with,i recomend him to anyone,my brother in Newcastle is already booked him to come and do some jobs.

i was just wondering what do you call safe? is there anywhere safe in London?
i wouldnt say so. nowhere is safe. you have to follow the rules. dont go out at night alone. dont get drunk and walk home, dont get into fake taxis, dont start any arguments.
wherever you go you want to see buses passing by, shops that are open until late.
i ve been in leyton for nearly two years now, this place is as safe as anywhere else. just be street wise and trust your instinct. dont light a match and complain then that it burns.
