As far as 'Waltham Forest terraces which don't face other houses' go, it certainly looks lovelier than Grove Green Road. Possibly even Whipps Cross Road too.

I rather hope the bike "hanger" is a typo on your part, rather than Waltham Forest Council's attempt at humour.

I used to live very close by, near St James Park (not that one). I think the area has gone upmarket a bit since then.
The local residents are also blessed by being close to the council tip, as well as the water treatment works. The benefits of being within easy walking distance of a tip are under-appreciated. |

This does actually sound lovely.

|
Some tips, such as our local one, do not allow people to visit on foot or by cycle, except for a 45 minute slot on Sunday afternoons

The urban fox an endangered species? Not if Barking is anything to go by.
|
|
Barking seems the right place for urban foxes. Not sure how often you hear owls in Tooting though!

Sounds a lovely street to live on if you're the 'joining in' type and for the rest of us to take pleasure in the occasional visit!

In 1997 the Environment Agency published a booklet about the 1947 Lea flood and the subsequent building of the flood relief channel.
It's getting lost but is on Wayback Machine here. |

And of course it's a stone's throw from the location of the notorious 2004 Momart fire.

I read somewhere that houses were demolished to make way for the flood relief channel and the residents re-houses in the suitably named Lea Close off Blackhorse Lane
|
|
felix - you can read that on page 3 of the Environment Agency document I linked in my earlier comment.

The Flood Relief Channel here didn't use to be the Dagenham Brook - the Dagenham Brook flows separately under Elmfield Road in a culvert, re-emerging north of Coppermill Lane. The sluice controls the Brook.
