  • Join me as I film the much loved local characters of Romford Market!
    I learn about the good old days from the 1930s-50s market hey day from a spirited 91 year old local, and grab a fantastic burger along the way before learning about Boris Johnson's favourite Romford fruit stall.
    Part 2 coming soon,
    Enjoy!

    That Angus beef burger had me drooling. Lovely seeing a working market in these hard times. Definitely makes me want to visit Romford. Thanks for sharing.

    I know where Sims Close is because my paternal grandparents lived in nearby Gilbert Road. My Dad also remembers when he was a child crossing Mr and Mrs Sims in the street when they were alive.

    Lovin' it Adam!
    I wish you could pop into your TARDIS and do the same thing in that Market 50-60 years ago... It was an amazing atmosphere, still on the medieval cobbles. Loads of fruit and veg stalls, pets, records and even butchers. I grew up on the veg!
    Yes the London Road went through the middle of the market, buses, lorries and all, but the cattle had already gone by then LOL!
    Thank you so much for the interview with the older folks and of course the characters too!
    Nellie Sim's granddaughter must be a local celebrity. Her grandmother was so famous there.
