  Boo Horton Added: 31 May 2021 13:39 GMT | Angel & Trumpet, Stepney Green The Angel & Trumpet Public House in Stepney Green was run by my ancestors in the 1930’s. Unfortunately, it was a victim on WWII and was badly damaged and subsequently demolished. I have one photograph that I believe to bethe pub, but it doesn’t show much more that my Great Aunt cleaning the steps. Reply |

 Tony Whipple Added: 16 Apr 2024 21:35 GMT | Frank Whipple Place, E14 Frank was my great-uncle, I’d often be ’babysat’ by Peggy while Nan and Dad went to the pub. Peggy was a marvel, so full of life. My Dad and Frank didn’t agree on most politics but everyone in the family is proud of him. A genuinely nice, knowledgable bloke. One of a kind. Reply |

 BB Added: 19 Sep 2024 12:41 GMT | Saunders Street, SE11 My grandfather (and presumably my father, uncles and aunts) all lived in 3 Saunders Street. I’m slowly researching my Family Tree. Does anyone know when this street was demolished, what were the properties like (I’m assuming extremely poor). My grandfather’s surname was HILKIN. Reply |

  Roger Purcell Added: 14 Sep 2024 17:46 GMT | Verdant Lane, SE6 (1911 - 1936) My great grandfather Joseph Henry Purcell moved into 140 Verdant Lane with his family circa 1910/11. He had recently retired from working in a senior role for the Borough Market Trust. It would have been a brand new terraced house at the time. He died there in 1916, but my great grandmother Emma continued to live there until her death in 1936. Reply |
Anonymous Added: 29 Aug 2024 13:22 GMT | Wartime My late Aunt lived in Tidal Basin during the war. Their family name was Brandon. She told a story of a schoolboy killed on the dock railway when walking to school. Apparently it was common for the kids to walk along the busy tracks serving the docks. Reply |
