Romford Road Congregational Church, Forest Gate, participated in important national events.
Coronation, 1953
The post war period was a time of austerity and rebuilding. By 1953 the country had begun to "turn the corner" and prosperity was returning. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was a time for celebration as can be seen from this party in an unknown Newham street.
