Henry went to school at St Edward’s in the Market Place, and was later employed on the newly-built Gidea Park Estate. Memories of teachers and school chums, cinema and buses, traders and residents and much else bring back the Romford of shopkeepers and local worthies, market days and stallholders, events and crimes, bringing the 1920s to older readers and introducing it to today’s residents. There are over 85 photographs of yesterday’s Romford.

64 pages, 88 photographs, 3 line illustrations
