I been living here for 16 years and i strongly recommend that you should look at other options before coming here.My number one reason is that knife crime is very high here I have seen men with knifes and the police always trying to stop these crimes.The recent knife crime has been on December 2017 it happened in a conour shop called mini market it was a drug dealing incident.The second reasons is the thief's and gangs,recently my oyster card and money had been stolen at leytonstone leisure center this was my fault for not locking my locker so I would advise you to be very careful. The third reason is the people are very rude and gross.The people who live here for example drug dealers and hobos who piss on the streets its very disgusting.

But where was it? Was it on the Trumpington site?

hi all you old leytonstone people, just going through some sites regarding leytonstone and came across this one (looks interesting) there have been some interest in bearmans of leytonstone,my old dad used to work there for around 20 odd years in the mid 1960s untill he took early retirement in the mid 1980s. he really did like working there he said it was a special department store their slogen was "a west end store in the east end" he was there when it was demolished and the co-op took over but it was never the same thats why he took early retirement. the store started in the late 1880s i have a lot of old interesting documents,photo's and brochures somewhwere (dads been dead for 18 years)it really was a great store, i often wonder what happened to the bearmans family?

Hi

Hi everyone. I just moved to Leytonstone area recently. I am an artist specialized in children's wall murals for bedrooms and games rooms. So if you think about customizing a room and keep costs down for renovation just send me an email at

Yes, this sounds really good and I'd be interested. Love books and a book club in a pub sounds like a great idea. Has anything been scheduled?

I went to Rosina Pulley school of dance around the middle to late sixties. Also remember a dancing assistant called Sylvia.

What became of the Donovan family that lived in Grove Green Road and worked at Hackney Wick Greyhound track?

this was an Irish pub in the mid 70's, Many a great night I had there!

Do you remember the Rand Family, we lived at 10 Kingston Road. We moved away 1959. I remember the Fisher's and Brookes

I rember mr Grearson I went to Lakehouse till 1962 I was in the first year five that did GCSE's Mr Bridgeman was our teacher,we spent most of our time at the annexe in Dames road, Its such a shame the old school was demolished.

I lived in Kingston Road in the 1950's and 60's.

I left in 1966/67 and believe Kingston Road was demolished soon after.

I have a few of photos taken in the street, including a couple of the street party for the Coronation.

I remember the Fisher, Brookes, Sharp, and Craske families. There were also a brother and sister - Norman and Sandra, but their surname escapes me at the moment.

Did you live in Kingston Road?

Yes the bottom half of Cobbold Road is now gone. Nevilles Bakery used to be there. I lived at no. 58 in the 60's. All those houses were pulled down to expand Tom Hood School, not sure it was ever done.

dos any body now where Pauling Hines his see lived

in woodhouse road

Research Leytonstone Cawley Arms do you know a date it was built? I live at the cottages at Harrow Green local businessman called Cawley involved with both!

I once lived in one of the bedsitters in this house, from 1985 to 1990. I had a large room and shared the house with a few others, most of them elderly, some of them a bit strange! I can't say I enjoyed my time there. The landlord at the time was a Mr Ritter. There was a cellar which I used to go down sometimes, which had various stuff being stored. It was a bit spooky, I have to say. The whole house was atmospheric, it has to be said. However, I wasn't aware of its history until what I read here. But while I was living there, the house next door, 85a, which was also owned by the same landlord, had a murder. A gay man who lived there was murdered. It must have been sometime between about 1987 and 1989. I don't have particularly fond memories of that place.

My grandmother Elizabeth brooks lived with her parents and about 8 siblings in 26 Kingston road . She married Albert Bates of 29 Kingston Road . This was early 1900s.

Go there often, still the cheapest meal around, lovely liquor, pies are not as good as the old days (real steak and kidney) but they are still tasty and the mash is the best around.

compared to the infested takeaways like in Leyton High road. On the BBC news a little while ago!

Years ago approx. 1966 there was a secluded spot not far from whips x roundabout. It was a regular spot for courting couples, and one evening my husband and I were walking through the forest when we became aware of someone behind us, about 10/14ft away stood a very tall man wearing a high hat and long coat or cloak. We were both unnaturally ill at ease, and made our way as quickly as we could back to our car.

Many years later when speaking about this to a work colleague my husband was told that the person had had the same experience the previous evening, so I wondered is there any information about this ghostly figure.

I run a yoga class at the Quaker Meeting House on Bush Road, Leytonstone.

My mother Nellie marville and her sisiter florence rose would have been in the home at the same time. They would have easily beenn remembered as they were the only mixed race children in the school. Photos or infor would be fab. Mum and her sister are still going strong 93 and 92. Help please.

Hey,

I came across your post and was interested in joining the potential new book club you were looking to start. How's it going? Have you got any other members interested or signed up? And any ideas of what to read?

I've never joined a book club before but something informal (and pub-based) sounds pretty good!

Does anyone remember the cosey cafe next to the fire station in the early sixties and the cafe in leytonstone high road near cathall rd used by the teddy boys in the sixties

My Sister Barbara Carrett went there in the 50's too.

Cathall road swimming baths. Where us girls could meet up with the boys. And we went there with the school for swimming lessons too. We used to buy a 1 penny arrowroot biscuit to eat on the way home.

interested in this. did it get going? mail me on

A few of the original buildings still remain. Also, there are some photos/drawings outside the main Tesco entrance.

Has anyone any information or photos relating to Leytonstone Childrens home. My father and his siblings were placed in the home in 1926 as my grandmother was trying to cope with cancer. I have found a few photos on the internet as I believe it has now been turned into a Tesco but would like to know more.

Many thanks Pat Henderson -

The cinema next to Bearmans was the Rialto and at Saturday morning pictures we used to sing about being the Rialto Rangers and it used to cost 6d (old money) to get in.

Me and my boyfriend moved in Bushwood area one year ago. We had no probs so far, I feel safe and I simply love this place. The organiclea people sell organic vegetables on Saturday, Red Lion gastro pub is amazing, the tube is very close (25 mins to Soho) and the BARA residents association has been very helpful. There's a sort of village feeling...so happy we found this place. The only thing, I would suggest you to look in Upper Leytonstone or Bushwood...not in other areas of Leytonstone.

We lived at 60 Beaumont rd E10 We heard the motor cut out as it was heading our way , running to our shelter i heard a swhishing noise then the bang , it hit the ,far corner above there canteen , as far I can recallit was about early afternoon , I think this was the second one to hit the canteen .when one man died , I also remember the one that circled , then hit Ruckolt rd school on a saterday .

Date: 15 Dec 2011. I believe this is the Gables, at 85, 85a & 87 Whipps Cross Road. Once upon a time at least, a fascinating architectural style inside and out. Believe it may be currently undergoing renovation which some residents find of a controversial heritage design ethos. If it is the building you are talking about, the borough of Waltham Forest says: “The Gables”, 85, 85a & 87 Whipps Cross Road E11 – Substantial Victorian house erected in 1895 as part of the Wallwood Park estate development, with an attached snooker room, now a separate house. Wallwood House was formerly the home of William Cotton, Governor of the Bank of England and local benefactor." There was once upon a time a stable block just to the side also.

Does anyone remember Dyers Hall Road about 1955-1960, before most of it was knocked down. My Great Aunt lived there and I used to visit her quite often then. Her real name was Mary Ann Alice Smith, but we all called her Aunt Doll. I would go into her back garden and look across a piece of ground to watch the underground trains going past. I can't remember the number of her house but it was on the 'underground' side of the road and you could almost, but not quite, see the British Railway bridge from her front door. I am trying to trace any of her three children: Henry (called Harry) Lillian and Edie. But with a surname of Smith it is not any easy task. I live in France now but would dearly love to make contact with any of the Smith family. If anyone knows anything about these people could you please ask them to contact me at
