I looked at your website when I heard your club would be competing in the Redbridge Afternoon League next year. We have been playing in that for several years.

The name Peter Chilkes caught my eye because it gave off vibes from my past. Did he, as a boy, live in Hackney? Was he a member of Brenthouse Jewish Youth Club?

Do let me know one way or the other.

We moved to Derby Road round the corner when I was about ten years old around 1950, totally different place then. We played cowboys and Indians darting in and out of the bushes. That part of the park became a “quiet” garden – I think so anybody blind could enjoy it – but I don’t remember any blind people there.
The swings in the playground were very high with long chains holding them on, and the roundabout was high, but if you fell off you just got back on again. The library was in the impressive building next door, but it eventually moved to an ordinary shop in Green Street, and the old library was used for other (less useful) purposes. It was many years ago, but I remember clutching a card given by my teacher when I reached book 4, and I was allowed to “join the library”. A very proud day.
The house was sold about five years ago, after my long-lived parents died.

Smashing, it looks like bowls is keeping them all young at heart. My OH is from East Ham originally and knows Plashet Park well.
