Hi Pete
in all the years I've worked on the Bromley site I've never taken a photo. So it's about time I did.
There's not a lot left of the old site, but I will take what I can. Some old gas holders are there and then the dock where the boats came in, empty of water and one half filled in. There is of coarse the memorial and a column with a gas lamp still burning on top.
I will let you know when they are taken and send you copies.
regards Barry

« on: Monday 04 January 10 22:15 GMT (UK) »
Hello
My grandfather lived in Quadrant street which ran into Tucker Street, both off Bidder street E16 He walked the half mile or so to visit my grangmother in Nelson street. Both Quadrant street and Tucker street were demolished in the 1930's as slum clearance. Nelson Street was also demolished in the 1930's when the Silvertown Way was built.
If you would like a map of the area try www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk the one I have is for Poplar 1914 london sheet 65.

Hello
My great aunt Margaret Hearn Married Henry J Carter in West Ham in 1922. Could there be a connection?

Hello Biker
This is my first posting. I was interested to read about your book. My great uncle James William Hearn worked for the Gas Light and Coke Company at their Bromley By Bow Works in east london. He served with the Royal Berkshire regiment, he won the Military Medal and Bar and reached the rank of sargent. He was killed in action on 17th May 1918. His name appears on the memorial plaque in the gas works. I don't have a photograph of him, I would be grateful for any information on James if you can help.
Regards Pan Man
