The Green Man is a pub and road junction on High Road, Leytonstone, London. The pub has been rebranded as part of the O'Neill's chain. The current 1920s building replaced an earlier public house, close to the original site; which was built around 1668 and mentioned by Daniel Defoe.
John, before the M25 we would drive through London to visit Essex and I well remember that bus garage - happy memories
I do love these videos. I grew up in Leytonstone and upon returning from uni, I lived in snaresbrook, Winstead, Woodford, South Woodford, Laughton and chigwell.... now I live in NZ. so thank you for your lovely walks and tales.. I truly love watching your videos, bringing back so many treasured memories.
Awesome. I'd go just for the Hitchcock and art murals.
Me too...I didn't know Hitchcock was from there
A line was also provided linking Victoria Park station on the North London Railway with Stratford Low Level and Stratford Market stations which was primarily for goods traffic.[23] The Loughton branch of the ECR was opened on 22 August 1856 with a junction just north of Stratford on the Cambridge line. Via what is now the wards Road allotments south of the Newbury Park station and crossing vicarage lane
Plus there's lots of lovely libraries around there.
@John Rogers - I just noticed this! Late but I hope this is interesting to you. May of London (the gun shop) at 20:25 used to be on Queen's Road in Buckhurst Hill and was owned by Ron May. He was also a cycle shop (which is how I knew him) and my Dad also used May's shop for all sorts of country and sporting items too. I'm talking of the late 1960's.
Just found this John. Fantastic walk. You should redo this the other way.
Portal to another world leads to WWII factory on the central line, that was where they lowered the machine equipment down.
Fascinating! This popped up by complete chance. I lived in Grange Hill behind the long gone Manor Hall and watched the trains from the footbridge you crossed way back in the ‘60s on those Sunday afternoons with my mum. Drove her mad, only one train every half an hour! She only passed last April at age 93. Great memories 🥰
Living in Woodford, I’ve occasionally deliberately taken the “wrong train” around the loop to look out the windows. Always wanted to walk around here but never have done for some stupid reason! Love your videos 😀
The "golden triangle" (and I find it a particularly obnoxious name) is Loughton, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell. I'm from South Woodford but used to live in Buckhurst Hill. We used to have these trashy free magazines that referenced the term constantly posted through our letterbox, full of photos of fake tanned people at awful nightclubs like Faces in Gants Hill. The "bling" that you mention is usually rather tacky in the area.
Thank you John for another great video of where I grew up . So different now due to the dual carriageways becoming arterial roads. Lived on Park View (backed onto clay hall park
I did that in my uni years....not by choice but on a strict budget. I used to go clubbing at the Green Man Pub. I really enjoyed your upload sir. I lived in snaresbrook and south woodford ,woodford, and even newbury park. Its changed alot thanks. Take care and please make more.
Thanks for that comment A - really time to make some more vids at that way
Found this by accident really got into it
Thanks wolvesdown
John Rogers I’m not a londoner but always fascinated by the underground,spent a lot of time working in London,Redbridge to Newbury Park,and war time history is interesting
I loved walking through Aldborough Hatch farm when I was living in Newbury Park so peaceful
Hi, John. This one was a lovely one to watch, particularly as I walked the same way that you did and over two days. My wife watched it with me and she was, at last able, to see where I walked on that day in June 2019 when the temp reached 38
Great video - I know the area a little from friends who live there. Stella and Tone not a problem any more - just the legacy...
Great video John.
Hadn't realised the spacing between 'under' and 'ground' on that Top Wanstead roundel before. You've an eye for what to look out for! Redbridge station railings (5:20), views from Limes Farm estate (14:37), that one tall, pebble-dashed house at 18:48... and my house was just out of shot at 21:20 :)
Wow, you're right. The roundel does have a spacing, and the sign does not. Never noticed that before. In proofreading, I call that a spacing mistake rather than a spelling mistake. Ha ha. Thanks for your eagle-eyed comment.
I’m glad you finished the walk. I really enjoyed the evening light after the rainstorm. Thank you for the video.
Great stuff of the area, reminds me of my time living there in the 60's and 70's
When I lived in the area there used to be a foot tunnel underneath the railway between Barkingside and Fairlop. Not sure if it's still there or not but was a great place to hide out from the teachers at our school! Nice use of tilt shift btw!
whats school king soloman ?
it was called Fairlop High back then.
Fascinating video. I live in the area and always nice to learn something new about it's history
Thanks Harpinder - I find it endlessly fascinating, it's a great area
I would love to see more of your adventures in Essex, perhaps on the Fenchurch Line or Liverpool street to Southend Victoria line around Shenfield etc as there are lots of green areas.
great suggestion Julie - last Feb I walked from Benfleet to Thorpe Bay along the estuary - but I'd love to strike off inland
@@JohnRogersWalks Your Benfleet to Thorpe Bay walk was one of the first ones I saw of yours as I live in Leigh myself and grew up in Benfleet although Stratford born. I subscribed from that point after sharing it to a Southend facebook group
brilliant - thanks Julie, there's loads more walks in that area I want to do, also been meaning to walk the Blackwater Estuary for a while
What a beautiful distraction your videos are John ! feeling a bit down today ..feeling better now,Thank you xxxx
Fantastic ever John, you're a pluckychap walking onthrough all the rain, but as you said it was rewarded in the end 👍😊
i commend you for this profoundly!
and it shall stay within me
for ever and ever
+took closely many thanks indeed - it was a great walk
Well done John, great commitment!
Love this video as I love all of your videos John. Big thanks to you.
+David Farrell Thanks Dave - much appreciated
Excellent video, as always.
+properact many thanks indeed
Awesome! thanks for this
very informative
love learning about the history round my area!
My pleasure - it's a great walk
Great video John. The brick structure on the A12 at 5:50 in your video has a fascinating story behind it. There's another similar one back in Wanstead too. Full story on Ian's site: www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2012/04/07/70th-anniversary-of-an-aircraft-factory-hidden-in-a-tube-tunnel/
+hostler Many thanks indeed - that is a fascinating story, I knew about the factory but had no idea about the ventilation shafts. Now want to go and find the one in Wanstead. Thanks again
and this kind of viewer contribution is the added value which we all want to see! Thank you.
14:48 that's limes farm estate. I live there so id know
Thanks Evan - you have one of the best views in London in my opinion
Newbury Park bus station reminds me of Uxbridge underground station with it high concrete vaulted roofs.
6:03 it England it always rains
Building a care home I believe, spurs old training ground
John = Did you just say The Senhor rewarded me for persevering through difficulties? 10:20
Ha I did check - my garbled speech translates as ‘You see you are rewarded...’
great video, loved this one, my sister currently lives in Woodford and I've gone for a stroll round here when I've visited.... if you ever wanna do a video in West London Suburbia I can tell you some interesting points.
+Paul Messis thanks Paul - I have an urge to get back out West, was thinking about Northolt this morning - would be keen to hear your recommendations
+Paul Messis thanks Paul - I have an urge to get back out West, was thinking about Northolt this morning - would be keen to hear your recommendations
John Rogers I would recommend following the old canal feeder from Ruislip Lido down to the Grand Union in Yeading, interesting walk, some nice untouched brown field sites around Ickenham near the A40.
+Paul Messis I like the sound of that Paul - many thanks
Northolt is an unusual place, there is the remains of a small ancient stream in "old Northolt" which I always found interesting.
Everyday is silent and grey on the loop
Hello john
Hi umesh
Hello..sorry this was my son.
no worries
What's the very first piece of music? I can't seem to locate it with the titles listed :(
Good question- it's actually the last track listed in the description because somehow during export Final Cut moved the end of the final track to the start of the video. How that happened is still a mystery- but I use Premiere now
Have you taken central line from Stratford to hainauly via Woodford runs a few times peak times I did it by mistake when a bit tired and hainault via woodford rather than hainault via Newbury Park it's quite a long way round !@
Barkingside is one of my favourite station as it looks
Like a country branch line station which of course it was, and long viaduct approaching Fairlop is quite a feat of engineering.
Does Roding Valley station have faregates?
That's a good question - there are exits on each platform and from memory there aren't fare gates on the side you see in the video here - but I could be wrong
+John Rogers Thanks. Nice video you took! :)
How long did this walk take you in real time ?
I can't remember to be honest - but at a guess I'd say about 8 hours to complete the loop back to Leytonstone
@@JohnRogersWalks that's too long but thank you for the video , I plan on doing Hainault to Woodford as that is a better walk with more green space
