Walthamstow once had the longest outdoor street market in Europe. These days it's still full of life and variety.
Joolz and Simon discover many interesting places on this walk around Walthamstow. There's lots of food including sushi, Caribbean, Polish doughnuts with alcohol and Indian pizza (it has to be seen to be believed!)
See where the first British motorcar was built and and where it now resides in the Vestry Museum full of the archives of the residents of Walthamstow.
There's London's oldest house and a remarkable collection of neon lights at Gods Own Junkyard.
There's also the Walthamstow Civic Centre which is an impressive building and of course Lloyd Park which is the home to William Morris.
It's quite apt that my tailor is just around the corner from someone so famous for his textile designs!

Charles would be one of several: Caroline, Carolean, Carolingian, Carolinian. Until last year when Charles III came to the throne, by convention, Caroline referred to the reign of Charles I and Carolean referred to the reign of Charles II. Carolingian by convention, had referred to the reign and dynasty of Emperor Charles the Great of the Frankish Empire, Charlemagne. There's no official word on how the current reign of Charles III would be referred to, but Liz Truss has referred to it in Parliament as Carolean when she was PM.

I was born in Walfamstow and we lived in a terraced house in Forest Road. In 1966 or thereabouts it was sold and we moved to the coast. I don't know how much it sold for then but in 1997 in sold again for £69,500. According to the websites that know about this sort of thing it's now worth £713,000. That's mental.

So interesting, I used to visit my grandparents, who lived inConnaught street, the toilet was in the garden and we would bath in a tin bath in front of the fire. . My grandfather grew all their vegetables in the small garden and the front, tiny space, had flowers. I would go to a small park at the end of the street. My grandmother took me to the town hall for concerts. I can remember walking up Hoe Street. They are good memories. Thank you.

I was born and bred in Warfumstow, and was actually born in one of those Warner flats by the park before moving at 9 months close to the High Street. I remember the live eels in a stall outside Manze's. In the High Street there used to be the Palace Theatre, where many music hall stars performed. Demolished in the early 60s. At least the Granada was saved - it did in fact become a church for a short time before public pressure put an end to that. My father claimed to have driven the Bremer car, and there used to be a photo in the museum of him standing beside it. London buses used to be built in the town, and you can dine in a tube train carriage there now.

In the early 1970s, there was a shop in the high street called '118 Boutique,' where my friends and I purchased pairs of custom-made leather platform boots. These were in the style worn by glam pop artists such as Slade, 'The Sweet,' Elton John (I noticed he was still wearing platforms at his recent Glastonbury appearance). The quality of these real leather boots, in whatever colour you wanted, was very good; they were made on the premises to our own specifications. I recall paying about £25 for mine.

@lotuslake9323 9 ай бұрын

@@treborbob2002 I was brought up in Walthamstow, born 1945 in Thorpe Combe hospital. George Monoux was always pronounced 'Mono' as in monogram, monochrome etc. Never anything different! It is a French name, so is pronounced as in the French language. The George Mono(ux) school (for boys) was considered to be the 'brother school' of the Walthamstow High School (for girls) that was/still is, in Church Hill, Walthamstow. Agreed re 'th' being pronounced as in 'thought', unless you are a Cockney and want to say Walfamstow! :-) But the term 'cockney' only really 'officially' applies to those born 'within the sound of the Bow Bells' in London! A 'true cockney', that is. So that narrows it down a bit. I believe there is some connection between Walthamstow and Waltham Cross and Waltham Abbey in Essex, but can't remember what. Walthamstow was always considered to be in Essex, but that got a little lost when Greater London happened and it got a postcode etc.
