What was the name of the pub on the corner of Bishopgate St and William St i,ts got a new name i have forgotten i,ts old one. Dek
I was born in No 3 Bishops Avenue, named John, with my sister Jean. I think weplayed as children. Next door to us was the Wrencher`s who had a daughter called Nina. There was the Coughflins next to them. The Evans lived at the bottom of Bishops Avenue.
Jacksons had the shop at the bottom of the avenue. Welshes were another neighbour. Browns and Collins were another.
I remember the air raid shelters. The coronation was fun, I was at the Kings Arms and the Anchor in Tennant street.
Mosses had a shop in Bishopsgate street, with Alan and Michael their sons.
Monks had a factory across the way who made window frames.
It was Coronation Day when my father, Bert Kelsall, sat me on the bar in the Kings Arms and gave me a banana. Then back into Bishops Avenue to watch the ceremony on a 9inch telly !
I was born in Bishops Avenue, No7, just after the war. My Great Grandma Round who previously lived there would tell me her chidhood memories of when she went to see Buffalo Bills Wild West Show.
Does anyone remember Bisops Avenue, the air raid shelters. The hardware shop in Astoness' photo's was on one corner and a grocers on the other. Opposite the Kings Arms.
