Leyton & Leytonstone Pictorial - New for 2011
Following on from the hugely successful Walthamstow Pictorials, this video travels through time around Leyton and Leytonstone gathering snapshots of life in this area of East London. We see local Leyton people paddling in the 1997 mains-water flood in the High Road and the River Lea bursting its banks in 1953. We see community events such as the Spring Fair of 1966 and over forty years later, the Leytonstone Festival complete with a piped band. Buildings and structures long-gone are brought back to life - cinemas, toy shops, swimming baths and the old Orient Football ground. Wonder at the sight of a traffic-free town from long ago and re-live the drama of a major fire that brought Leyton to a standstill. This video is an ideal present for anyone who has lived in Leyton and Leytonstone witnessing the many changes over the years. It serves as a useful historical record for anyone wanting to know more about this area's past.
