We moved to Luton when I was a kid - well, Dunstable. We were part of the London overspill in the late 50's when the pulled all the slums down. My mum never really got over it.

This thread seems to have taken a rather strange path!!
Well - not about the fire anyway!
I was born in Stepney...(Mile End Hospital if it still exists!)....my Mum's family was from Clerkenwell and surrounding areas (and were 'in The Print') and my Dad's family was from Stepney. I was brought up in Abbey Wood. Then moved not far from Di and Lorraine in Luton/Dunstable...Well Harpenden actually but only a couple of miles from Luton! My hubby was born in Fulham.
I never really lost my accent - and can still turn heads here now where practically everybody has a scouse accent!! And my daughters can talk in either!!
It is a small world really isn't it!!
Due to a serious incident at our Birmingham offices, no orders were despatched yesterday (8/10).
Normal service has now been resumed, with all orders being despatched today.
well, in distance maybe, Bee! Very posh - we aspired to Harpenden!but only a couple of miles from Luton
Mile End hospital was still there when my nan died there back in 1985 but I haven't been back since. I was born in the London, just down the road. Small world indeed - my family were in tailoring. Well, being in Whitechapel, they would be, wouldn't they

I'm an Essex girl too Right by the sea at Burnham on Crouch and my OH was born in Stockwell. I used to go shopping at Romford market on many a Saturday, as it was the only bit of civilisation nearest to BOC.
I have a bit of a connection with Mile End Hospital... My father in law was born there, my mum died there and I had quite a bit of nose work done there (I fell off a wall aged 7 and broke my nose!) Its a real grim looking hospital with very thick walls, but lovely kind caring nurses and doctors.

romford market has always been the best - the church in the middle of the market is where my mum and dad got married - there is ieven a woman in the background of one of their photos buying her spuds lmao
I have always been put off markets down here cos they didnt measure up to romford lol

Ah, our local market was Petticoat Lane. Wonderful place. My Uncle Ben bought me a budgerigar there. Sadly, the cat got it.

I used to go to Petticoat lane market in my lunch-hour. Fantastic and the characters you saw were unforgettable!
