Aylmer streets
I started this page with all good intentions a few years ago.
I'll try and be good and get round at least the other London streets soon.
Aylmer Road, Leytonstone, London E11
Leytonstone is in Waltham Forest,
the next borough along from my home borough of Newham and bordering the western side of Wanstead Flats,
so for me it's logical to start here.
This Aylmer Road joins on to the main road through Leytonstone, its High Road,
which is now partly pedestrianised to make shopping that little bit safer.
It is in the Bushwood area, which has an active resident's association.
The road is just a couple of hundred yards long and has one row of typical London terraces, pictured right.
The mission hall opposite is dated from 1885 which will probably date the terraces accurately.
Accessed from Aylmer Road, but having Leytonstone High Road as their postal address, is a much grander row of three terraces,
Grade II listed, dating from a century earlier.
Their once extensive grounds have had the indignity of a row of shops dumped on them.
More to come
I'll be visiting the other London streets and roads - there's only three more -
and in time will try to broaden my reach across England.
