Roaming my Old Stomping Ground, East Ham, London 🇬🇧 

We had the best times 70s 80 lived in barking then Harper Road, remember all these places on videos Stratford Upton Park 👍

Thank you for posting this. I'm a similar age to you, and grew up on Altmore Avenue through the eighties and nineties. So many memories, so much change. Quite an emotional watch, especially with your comments and memories, bringing back some stuff I'd completely forgotten. Please know your content is appreciated, mate. All the best.

I can remember when there was still prefabs just past there towards Barking where the A406. is now can't say i spent much time in East Ham but i can remember getting dragged around the C&A there when i was a kid.

They’ve gotten rid of the shopping hall for flats, wow!

I'm a Poplar boy and still live on the East India Dock Rd. Back in the eighties I used to venture to East Ham regularly. I used to drop into The Burnel Arms to wind the Teddy Boys up and then spend the evening in the Rusking Arms with the Rockers who's company I loved. Great days!

Hi Roaming Ree and thanks for the walk through East Ham. I was born in Burgess Road at my house in the 1960's. Its has changed drastically but i still have very fond and nostalgic memories of the area, so much so i often take a stroll around where i was born and the surrounding area. I remember the swimming pool behind the town hall and went there regularly with my cousin's, sometimes 4 or 5 times per week. They had a small cafe in the building where i clearly remember buying Horlicks sweets after my swim. I used the library a lot, i remember climbing the stairs to get to it and having an amazing selection of books to read as my family never had many books at home. We used ro go to Central Park on a Saturday for play and shenanigans. There was a Wimpy opposite the Town Hall which we frequented when we could afford a mixed grill or Knickerbocker Glory. I remember fondly the COOP department store because as kids we would go up and down the escalators which we called the moving stairs. The Shopping Hall/Market was a great place for bargains and treats. I also remember Woolworths and the wonderful C&A store which you mentioned, which was at the top of my road. It used to have mirrored pillars that we used to do the Harry Worth illusion with. .i had friends in Caufield Road and Kempton road. I went to Altmore Avenue School and then on to Lathom School, a lovely old building. We moved from Burgess Road to the Barking road (above a shop) and then like most East End folk out to Becontree and its estates. It is a bit run down now but the shops could do more to help that, especially the larger corporate ones. You dont see a rundown Argos in Kensington. The high street can still be quite vibrant and does still have a lot to offer. Newham needs to invest in the high street along with the big corporations and businesses. I popped into the Denmark Arms recently for a pint and that is so shabby now. A shadow of its ild self. Such an amazing building as well. I will check your other videos. Thanks again for sharing.

Lived in Manor Park until 1973. Driven through a couple of times in the last 50 odd years. Glad my family moved to Cambridgeshire. Same problems as a lot of towns in the UK. Peterborough is my home town now thankfully. Thanks for the walking tour.

My parents 1970 bought house in forest gate £5 k unbelievable to think now , went to Stratford comprehensive Upton lane 😊

Wow 40 years, bound to be many changes. But I really hope they clean it up. Newham was never rich was but was a great place to grow up

I thought you’d mentioned Marks for Toys as you passed it next to BIMS. Got all my swimming certificates from the town hall in the 80s.

Missed the festival there that was every year. Under the stars, at central park, east ham

Wow! I remember going to East Ham TEC on block realise during my apprenticeship back in 1985 😮

Wasn’t the Argos , the Woolworths? Remember buying broken biscuits there. Biscuits used to be loose and they’d weigh them

Wow what a throwback with the stories I remember hearing stories of people getting chased at the station

What years did you go to East Ham College? I was there from 1980 to 1983.

Miracles talk is cheap new song out ❤ mixtape Silent tears out soon part1 big up this channel

Green Street Forest Gate is 💯 per cent is busier Than High Street North As no traffic can drive through It dead

Remember that co-op, we used to play on the escalators

Remember growing up in the 80s and having no go areas cos of NF. Custom House and Canning town were racist hotspots.

McDonald on the High Street opened 79/80, went there after school St Johns R.C Secondary with my mates from Green Street to Eastham - the queue was so long😮all for this unhealthy junk😅😂😅😊😅but we loved it 14/15 year old, then we had to bunk on the bus home as we had no money left😂and the money spent in McDonald's was saved up school dinner money😂😂😂😊 good memories🎉love your video. Thank you for the good childhood memories😂

The Sports Direct was Williams Furniture store

The Magnificent building on the Barking Rd/Eastham High Street, use to be the co-op department 🏬🏢Store, all the mums went their to buy the school 🏫uniforms, supermarket only sold food items no clothes like today. M&S, BHS C&A were to expensive and only for the posh people😂

I grew up in Manorpark in the 60s and it was a great place to be, unfortunately cultural enrichment made a lot of the indigenous people move out.

Was working at the old East Ham police station last month . I posted a shorts video

All the English people left these areas 40 years ago.

Yes my brother I’ve been in Eastham since 1997 everything is a stone throw away they used to have some really good shops down this high street Ravel,M&S k shoes,Dune&co,Daisy,BHS,Woolworth,Robins and so much more now its a DUMP I know 3 people including me we had our phones pickpocketed its all Eastern Europeans they’ve got nothing else better to do than to stand around looking for a target to pick on Standing around a bin eating pumpkin seeds and doing F-k All yes exactly nothing but betting shops its a Sh-t Hole.
