    My home town from the 60s to the 80s. Super to see, brings back many memories, especially along the Boleyn and Barking Road. Thanks...

    Happy days back in the late 60s, early 70s walking to and from Upton Park tube to go and see West Ham. Looks very different now. Enjoyed your Barking and Ilford videos, used to live in off Clayhall AVE, Barkingside. Can you show the park side of Barking and Upney Lane to Upney?

      @johngeorge3619 Many thanks. Yes definitely happy days back then. Don't get me wrong it was tough but life was so much simpler. We had different challenges. Clayhall and Gants Hill know it really well. Definitely wanted to visit Barking Park again but time may be a factor as I wish to be travelling again.

    Someone I vaguely knew who lived opposite the old police station bought a rifle, barricaded himself in his room and held the station under siege. No one was hurt and he had a mental breakdown due to a serious motorcycle accident. That would have been around 1970.
