Also born and bred in Romford, managed to escape though! :-) Never knew of this and of course Shergold were only a couple of miles away. A veritable hub of mediocre guitar manufacturing ;-)

I escaped once back in 1976 for 2 years but got caught and brought back

That's par for the course in Romford, we all have two cars cos we know one will get nicked...it's ok there though as the car is part of the insurance company so no worries with a payout haha

Another born and bred Romford resident here. Nice bit of history. I don't venture into DV247 very much. But know the estate very well. Good work!
