Remembering the House Where I was Born
I remember the house where I was born - 6 Beauchamp Road, Forest Gate. Eric Dawson's family home: a terraced house but due to problems connected with actually drawing it, the house appears detached but internally it is quite accurate.

Methodist Central Hall
By James Briggs
Picture taken possibly around 1910 - I'm not sure. I can't remember my source, but possibly Robin Sharp. The building was next to the former East Ham Grammar School - just visible on the right of the picture, in turn next to East Ham Town Hall further to the right. The Central Hall was demolished in the 1960s.
Chinese Gate
This entrance gateway to a new Chinese Cash & Carry certainly brightens up Factory Road at North Woolwich. The roof is made of ceramic tiles.
