As a small boy in the 50's, at Christmas I used to look over this area from my bedroom and fall asleep in wonderment at the Christmas Tree at the top of the mast of a Blue Star line Ship. I think it was from Australia or New Zealand...Salad days.

My family had a long history in Custom Street and Coolfin Road before moving to Roman Road East Ham before the war. From family memories, Custom Street was bombed out during August 1940 (The day they set the Docks on fire) and more during the Blitz also. It's been flattened in this 1947 photo but there are a few pre-fabs to be seen. A fascinating photo, especially when you really zoom in, You can make out Savage Gardens, East Ham in the distance!!!
