	ray Glenister added a pin to image EPW028208 - "Victoria Park Lido opened here in 1936. It was sadly demolished in the early 1990's.

	ray Glenister added a pin to image EPW028208 - "Victoria park was open to the public in 1845. It was created specifically for East London residents and therefore the first of its kind in the UK to be so. Here East Enders could find relief from the deadening endless terraced streets and improved spiritual health that green open spaces give. Its once fine Art deco Lido closed in 1986 then lack of vision led to demolition in 1990. Victorian clinker rowing boats once graced the lake and tea houses completed the tranquil scene. Not so today. It seems now to serve as an events and function centre. During WW2 and mostly closed off to the public, the park accommodated a POW camp and anti air craft batteries.'Vicky'Park is also where the first railway murder occurred in England on the N-Eastern side where the North London Railway once ran. Wow what a park and how many stories this old Victorian gal can tell. I loved the park. Mondo"	7 years ago

It never came back. Catching the thermals from the asphalt playground, it steadily climbed on a gentle breeze and headed south over the railway arches, as though it knew exactly where it wanted to go. A few minutes of rare wonder for all the open mouthed children that watched. Ray. "	7 years ago

( See 'LCC BUILDS WHERE HITLER BOMBED' It shows kids playing marbles on the corner of Locksley with the cement rendered side of 56 Turners Road (photo attached) This house was occupied by two families (11 people in all) after war repairs in 1946. The short brick corner wall was erected around the basement 'hole' after number 58 was demolished in 1947. The water hydrant scene is odd because water was on always on tap, except during the severe 1947/48 winter when the outside lead pipes froze. RAY. "	7 years ago

There were no floor boards, only wooden bearers over which kids tip toed risking a fall of some 12 metres. Unthinkable today, children of the day were free to explore all that you see in these post war photos. Ray"	7 years ago
