Hi Rita, I went to Fourth Avenue School as I lived close by.  Was just one house and three shops from the Library and the Three Rabbits. My mum is buried in the City of London Cemetary.  when I was a child, the area opposite the shops was bombed out and there was a big crater there and we used to throw snowballs at one another from one side to the other of the craee.  Last time I was there in 1998 there is shops built on that site and as far as I can remember the Pub was the Charringtons.  I hadn't noted a Chemist like someone had said.  Lived in the district up to 1957.

I had a little friend who was Jewish named Adrian, she went to the same school as myself she lived in Romford Road right near the Pub also.

Hi

833 Romford Road is now "Anthonys Pharmacy"
Big red bus in the way on google streetview.

The road "opposite" is Rabbits Road (Romford Road end of Aldersbrooke Road)

Hi

Just to try to complete the picture

736-740 is HMJames, 742 is Sureya's Hairdressers, 744 is The Bible Bookshop.

My guess is that your man lived in the flat(s) above the shop(s)?

the Rabbits was still there until recently. Went past yesterday, it seems to have become some kind of posh watering hole under another name. The chemist is next door, has been there for many years, then the hairdressers.
I believe your best bet is to contact the Archives and Local Studies at Stratford Library. I think their phone number has not changed recently: 0208 430 6881 or try archiveslocalstudies at newham.gov.uk

The shops have all  on the intersection was called the Three Rabbits, then in 1998 I noted it was called Charringtons.  the opposite corner was the Library and opposite that was a stamp collectors shop. Opposite that in 1989 first overseas trip home. There was a pram shop at one stage.
