I also found your website by mistake, but wow what fond memories it bought flooding back. I lived in Chingford from 1959 to 1973, attending Larkswood Infant & Junior schools, Wellington Ave and Sidney Burnell High Schools. My Dad and his brothers had butcher shops in Walthamstow called "Brentwood Economy Butchers", one was next door but two to the Chequers pub and Rossi's ice cream parlour, down the market. I remember the sasporella man, and Percy Daltons Peanut man, he used to sell them hot opposite my Dad's shop. Menzies pie and mash shop, with the live eels outside. Two of the other shops were in St James Street, my granddad lived above one of them for a while, and I can remember him giving me sixpence to go to the mens outfitters next door for a new stud collar for his shirts. Lloyds park was a favourite of my children's in the late 1970's early 1980's ,when I used to visit my Mum and Dad especially in the school holidays when there used to be free shows put on for them.
We all absolutely adored going to Larkswood outdoor swimming pool. I spent every summer there when I was a kid, and since I moved to the Midlands in 1974, where they don't have outdoor pools, I was really sad when it closed
it's doors for the last time. What is it now? Don't get to go back for visits, as my Dad died and Mum now lives near me in the Midlands
This site make me feel very nostalgic, keep up the good work
