Re: How to access Romford photographs

Thanks John-

I think I'll order one, even if it is a bit late in the year, and even if their
geography of Havering appears to have been learned in an American school :P -
For the record, Squirrels Heath Rd is NOT in Upminster, and never was.

> Hi Harry. I'm in a bit of quandary here not quite knowing what particular
question you hope for an answer to. So I am going to stick me neck out and
attempt to answer both for you, always of course being very happy to receive
corrections if I am a little (lot) off track, any comments will be welcome
anyway of course!.
> Firstly re North and South divide. I have followed that topic with roughly the
Traffic Lights in the centre of Town as my guide : North Street and South
Street, to me either side of one or the other denotes which particulart side one
is on. If you lived beyond North Street in say for example the Collier Row area
then you are a Northerner. On the hand anyone living South St and beyond is
Southern. I repeat that I am well open to correction in this but at the very
least its a guide but as I see it. I come on the Northern (Collier Row) side of
the fence when/if these suggestions are adhered to.
> Ref where does High St begin and end well heres my take on that for what its
worth, at the very least it makes sense even if a little uncertain. High St
begins again at those traffic lights and does in fact carry on and on then
whilst passing through different localities/towns and changing its name as it
goes, maybe (London Rd?). It (by whatever name) goes right the way on through to
the East End of London, I will try to clarify that a little. Leaving Romford it
goes through Chadwell Heath, Goodmayes, Seven Kings, Ilford, Manor Park, Forest
Gate, Stratford, Bow, Stepney, Whitechapel and so on into London. I presume that
the High Street (proper) as applied to Romford ends at Chadwell Heath but as
stated it (that road) continues from there as above by whatever name.
> All a bit confusing and I repeat just my take on it, answers,comments,
corrections welcome. Syd.
