Hiya again....love watching these slices of history. I lived on Woodford Rd in '64....I think there was a boxing club (?) near us...where the Special School was built ( don't know if it's still there). I remember Johnnies being built, with its cafeteria and Shergis hair-solon. I was walking through the Centre the other day and remarked to my daughter (33), that alot of these old folk walking there would probably be those brave pioneers. My Grandparents ( Burnetts) from Woodford rd and my parents are now gone....wonder what they would make of Elizabeth now?
Yes, I remember going to the Johnnies cafe with my Mum as a little boy - pie, chips and gravy...😀 And yes, you're right, many of those old folks are the Elizabeth pioneering originals. Must feel like a different planet to them now.
north side boxing ,, they are now across the road at the sports oval .. still going after all these years.. the special school is now an islamic primary school ,, and they use the oval across the road aswell.. the council built a play ground ,, bmx track and half courts at the oval... its good to see it used ..
