Sorry this is ETON MANOR rovers not manor road.my mistake!!

Hi theres a site known as "whirligig" that has a selection of episodes of old tv programs from the 50,s onwards(some complete episodes)
        www.whirligig-tv.co.uk.
     

what a lovely "sit up and beg"e93a.some years ago i was asked to put a 105e engine and box into one of these,bit of a job as the sump had to be cut and shut,but did the job.the car was still running around in 2005 in walthamstow last time i saw it.

Hi, i,m afraid it went to the scrap yard about three years after i bought it(it suffered a lot of tin worm)I had 2 other minors at various times after this. a two door that i tuned to be very efficient(could get 62 mpg on a run) and a traveller(the "woodie" estate).

Hi I think youll find the piece of music was by faure and was called something like the berceuse.

The bow industrial estate,and,before that was gliksteens the woodyard that took up the land between  the 2 river bridges in carpenters road.the photo was taken in about 1969 ,just before preston road disappeared

my first car ,morris minor 4door cost me £50 insurance was £33 third party fire and theft cant remember how much the tax was,but,i know you had to have a radio license!!!this was taken in 1969 from 6,preston road towards carpenters road

My dad was goalkeeper and would have been 24 at the time.I just wondered if anyone knows anything about the team?This was eton manor rovers,by the way.

after looking on the net ,i remembered we also had mr wippy and also tonibell ice cream vans visit the carpenters estate in the 60,s.

I was working nights at the time at kings cross telephone exchange.at around 4 in the morning the lights failed and a quick call to control(on the top of the telecom tower)and was told the lights were out all over london.we all made a move home and it took from about 5 in the morning until 8 to get home on the night bus.on the way the bus was swaying at every junction,very hairy,and we watched a milk float pull out of green street and lose half its load to the wind there waas a white streak for about a hundred yards along the romford road.when i got to ilford i watched someone open the glass door into a shop on the corner of cranbrook road and ilford hill and the rest of the windows blew out with the wind pressure.

Hi,   I dont know if they still do it,but,carte d,or used to do a tub of lemon sorbet which was as near to andrews lemon ice as made no difference(it made your ears laugh).

a very old friend of mine worked at the canning road  f.w.berk. jim andrews,i wondered if anyone remembers him?

hi,
     yes he was indeed at stratford grammar school.now lives in crediton,devon and is the incumbent mayor! its amazing the things he has done in his life.if you "google"him you,ll find a lot on him.

hi,in the 1950,s and 60,s we had andrews ice cream van in the carpenters road area.their lemon ice was superb with pieces of lemon in.
