@PaulSuttonKing @DeborahBlythe I know we couldn’t have CHI as Chiswick had already taken that. I’m currently trying to find out where Silverthorn came from. A book I have about the local telephone service doesn’t give an explanation.

[Joanna Moncrieff @WWalks]

@SallyRodg1958 @PaulSuttonKing It’s been in the London Borough of Waltham Forest since 1965!

Congratulations to @WWalks for identifying Station Road in Chingford

[Joanna Moncrieff @WWalks]

@PaulSuttonKing To be pedantic The Parade, Station Road!

[Joanna Moncrieff @WWalks]

@PaulSuttonKing It’s Station Road, Chingford. My manor too!

Researching for a Christmas walk in Spitalfields led me to discover that in the early 1900s via a @DailyMirror charity appeal a men’s hostel in Quaker St was known briefly as The Palace of Pudding. Thanks to @salvationarmyuk archive and @BNArchive https://t.co/FfKIHTsGsE

[Joanna Moncrieff @WWalks]

Does anyone have any ideas why an #Islington brewery would be awarding trophies to the #Walthamstow Spade Husbandry Society in the 1950s? I already know about the history of this allotment but was intrigued by the brewery connection.
