Wanstead Village Directory 

PO Box 2491, Ilford, IG1 8JT 

Welcome... 

Summer holidays are under way. By now, 

many of you will have friends and family 

enjoying time away from home. Perhaps a 

jaunt to the coast, a week or two under the 

Mediterranean sun or a summer-long cruise to 

more exotic ports. But how will you hear about their 

adventures? Will you be monitoring their social media profiles to 

keep abreast of their cocktail indulgences? Will you be looking 

forward to WhatsApp messages and poolside photos? Will you 

wait to hear the highlights in person upon their return? Or will 

you be expecting a postcard? 

For our younger readers, a postcard is a rectangular piece of thin 

cardboard intended for writing and mailing without an envelope. 

And for those same readers, ‘writing’ is the art of creating letters 

and words using pen and paper, and ‘mailing’ is like sending an 

email, but it takes a day or two (or longer) to get to the recipient. 

And yes, there was a period in the not-too-distant past when 

holidaymakers would take time out from their break to buy 

postcards and stamps, compose a few lines by way of describing 

how pleasant the weather is before posting them back home, 

having remembered to copy the required addresses from their 

address book before departing. Of course, depending on holiday 

destination and duration, the challenge was to post them early 

enough to ensure they arrived home before you did! 

There’s certainly something poetic about a holiday message 

embarking on a journey of its own, a journey somewhat more 

eventful than messages sent through the digital ether. But 

while the sending of postcards is certainly a lost art, the art 

of postcards need not be, not in Wanstead 

anyway and not if the art trail has anything 

to do with it (see page 32). Perhaps you 

won’t receive any postcards this summer, 

but will you send any? Answers on a…

Wanstead Fringe 2019 will be ‘bigger, 

better and more fringe-worthy than ever’ 

Organisers of the 

seventh annual 

Wanstead Fringe – 

which will run from 

7 to 15 September – say 

this year’s event will 

be ‘bigger than ever’. 

“The week-long Fringe 

will include more live 

professional theatre, 

comedy, music, 

demonstrations, talks 

and assorted cultural 

activities than ever 

before. Not to mention 

established favourites like the open-air 

Wanstead Kinema and the jumble trail,” said a 

spokesperson. Last year, the Fringe attracted 

thousands of local residents as well as visitors 

from further afield. This time, organisers are 

expecting an even higher level of interest

Consultation on 

idling fines 

Redbridge Council 

is seeking feedback 

on plans to fine 

drivers who leave 

their engines running 

while parked as part 

of the authority’s 

efforts to reduce air 

pollution. “Engine 

idling is one of the 

key contributors to 

air pollution and this 

new policy will be 

an important tool to 

reduce toxic air,” said 

a spokesperson. Fines 

will only be issued 

if drivers refuse 

to switch off their 

engine when asked. 

The consultation 

closes on 2 August.

Music event on Wanstead Flats given 

the go-ahead by City Corporation 

Work underway to upgrade water 

network in Wanstead 


The City of London Corporation has given 

the go-ahead for a large-scale music festival 

to be held on Wanstead Flats next year. “The 

City Corporation has received a proposal from 

MAMA Festivals for a three-day music event 

on Wanstead Flats in September 2020. Elected 

members have agreed in principle the event 

can be held,” said a spokesperson. Organisers 

must now apply to Redbridge Council for a 

licence and conduct a public consultation. A 

petition opposing the plans has received over 

600 signatures. Visit wnstd.com/flatsmusic 

Open-air theatre hopes to inspire 

visitors to Wanstead Park 

Work to replace 5.3km of water pipes across 

20 roads in Wanstead began in July and is 

expected to continue until March. “This is an 

important piece of work and we’re investing 

£2.2 million in the scheme to provide a safe 

and reliable supply for future generations… 

A range of techniques which do not require 

open trenches will be used to lay the new 

pipes, with trenches being used only as a last 

resort… We don’t plan to remove any trees, 

but any that do have to be removed will be 

replaced,” said a Thames Water spokesperson.

Community gardeners encourage 

help from non-gardeners 

Petition calling for government 

funding for Whipps Cross Hospital 

One of the many street patches 

tended by the Wanstead 

Community Gardeners 

The Wanstead Community Gardeners are keen 

to encourage more people to assist them in 

their work. “We can do the planting, but as a 

community, the maintenance can be done by 

non-gardeners. Watering is needed in times of 

no rain. Some plants will flower all summer if 

their seedheads are removed. It would be easy 

if lots more people just did a bit in a time of 

their choosing, and this way, it would be a real 

community effort. Please contact us by email 

or leave a note in the library,” said Marian 

Temple. Email gardeners@wnstd.com 

A local health campaign group is urging 

residents to sign a petition calling for the 

government to provide funding to rebuild 

Whipps Cross Hospital. “Barts Health NHS 

Trust has the go-ahead to develop plans for 

Whipps… But with a funding shortfall, the 

pressure will be to sell off too much land to 

the detriment of the size and facilities of the 

new hospital. Government failure to invest in 

NHS building is a real threat to our hospital’s 

success,” said a spokesperson for Waltham 

Forest Save Our NHS. Visit wnstd.com/wxp

Remember the cows? 

Karen Humpage announces the launch of her book featuring artwork 

and anecdotes of the cows that once roamed the local streets of 

Wanstead and Woodford 

Wanstead residents may already 

be familiar with my work. My 

paintings of the cows that used to 

wander the local streets have been shown 

at Art Trail Wanstead and the Wanstead 

Festival, as well as being featured in this 

publication. 

I recently finished writing my book on the 

subject, entitled Common or Garden Cows, 

which will be released in August. I’m very 

excited about the book coming out and 

keen to know what everyone thinks about 

it. I’m hoping to organise a ‘meet the author’ 

afternoon in a local establishment, and 

possibly do some readings from the book, so 

check my website for details. 

I’ve already had the seal of approval from 

Year 3 pupils at St John’s C of E school in 

Buckhurst Hill. I spent a lovely afternoon there 

recently talking about when the cows used 

to come to town and showing them my cow 

paintings. In turn, they all drew and coloured 

in pictures of cows causing traffic jams and 

getting into people’s front gardens. 

Growing up in Woodford in the seventies – 

Rokeby Gardens to be precise – I remember 

the cows ambling up the road, munching 

all the privet hedges and liberating the 

rosebushes of all their flowers. It seemed 

quite normal at the time, but I suppose if 

it happened now, there would be letters 

to the council! Not that cows would 

find much to eat in gardens nowadays. 

My bugbear of people losing interest in 

their gardens and turning them into car 

parks crops up in the book on more than one 

occasion! 

I attended Nightingale High School and 

went horse riding at the Snaresbrook Riding 

School. I remember seeing the cows over The 

Hollows many times while out riding – we’d 

have to give them a wide berth in case they 

frightened the horses! 

Here follows an extract from the book, taken 

from the beginning of Chapter Three, entitled 

Traffic. 

‘A commuter’s day would not start well if 

they opened their front door to find a cow or 

three standing in the front garden. Having to 

run the gauntlet past a large cow to the gate 

was not an exercise most people would relish 

unless they fancied themself as a contestant 

on It’s A Knockout. So, most people waited 

until the cows moved on, leading to many 

seemingly outlandish excuses as to why they 

were late for work. 

“I remember the cows well. We used to live 

in Beverley Crescent and I once had to call 

work to say I’d be late as three cows were in 

our front garden and I couldn’t get out of the 

house. They thought I was mad!” 

The daily drudgery of waiting for a bus could 

be alleviated by the spectacle of a cow joining 

the commute. Not privy to the tradition of 

queuing, a cow could fill a whole bus shelter, 

leaving the poor commuters resigned to 

standing out in the inevitable rain. “There was 

a wooden bus shelter on Lake House Road… 

in it waiting for a bus was an enormous 

cow just standing there minding its own 

business.”’

Wanstead’s loss 

Steve Wilks and Deborah Selner remember Jill Stock, who died at the end 

of May. Known to many, her funeral saw the City of London Cemetery’s 

chapel overflowing with friends and family celebrating her life 

I 

had the pleasure of knowing Jill when I 

moved to Wanstead and she introduced 

me to various people who were involved 

in Neighbourhood Watch. 

Jill Stock (born 22 May 1947, 

died 25 May 2019) and one of her 

photo montages of Wanstead 

Ever the community worker, she initially 

became a Watch Co-ordinator and then 

Chairman of the Safer Neighbourhood Panel, 

assisting the police and running the group. 

Having lived for over 40 years in Wanstead, she 

had a wealth of local knowledge. She regularly 

organised the annual street party for residents 

on Cranbourne Avenue where she lived. 

Through working as a nurse and being 

involved in her own children’s schools as a 

member of Nightingale and Wanstead High 

PTA, she knew a huge bank of people from 

all walks of life. A trip down the High Street 

could easily take an hour with Jill; she always 

stopped to say hello or have a quick chat. All 

her neighbours knew her by name and would 

often knock on her door for an address, a 

telephone number or a bit of friendly advice, 

and she never turned anyone away. She 

cared for everyone, especially the old and 

vulnerable, and she hated injustice. When 

something was wrong and needed resolving 

nobody was more tenacious than Jill. 

As a nod to the changing role of technology 

in our lives, she helped set up the local 

WhatsApp groups for enabling neighbours 

to notify others of anything going on in 

the local area, and this quickly spread out 

across Wanstead and Snaresbrook. She was 

also a regular contributor on the Wanstead 

Community Hub, acting as a point of call for 

advice on the reporting of crime and other 

issues that arose. 

Jill worked as a district nurse in the local area 

for some 46 years. When she retired, she was 

able to concentrate more on her beautiful 

garden. In December 2013 she developed her 

hobby of making photographic collages into 

a small enterprise by taking photographs of 

Wanstead landmarks and turning them into 

jigsaw puzzles. Jill sold these puzzles at the 

monthly Wanstead Farmers’ Market. Entitled 

Wanstead – A Very Special Community, the 

collage contained everything about our 

London suburb. It turned into a quick success. 

She remarked: “It is quite simple but it is a 

real joy to sell them. Children especially are 

interested so that is why I have a slightly easier 

200-piece puzzle for them.” 

Jill always had time for anyone and was 

always willing to lend help to those with a 

problem. She will be deeply missed by the 

Neighbourhood Watch groups, the local 

police and residents, who looked at her as a 

beacon for a model citizen looking after her 

neighbourhood. 

Jill passed away on 25 May 2019 following 

a road traffic collision while visiting family 

in Somerset. She leaves behind husband 

Mick, daughters Sam, Kate and Polly and five 

grandchildren.

Learning lessons 

Wanstead resident and student member of Stop the War Coalition 

Lucy Nichols explains why she and a few friends recently hosted a stall 

on the High Street opposing war with Iran 

On Saturday 29 June, myself and a 

group of student activists from the 

Stop the War Coalition ran a very 

successful stall on Wanstead High Street. 

We talked about the very real threat of 

war with Iran and encouraged locals to 

share with us the reasons why they were 

against British involvement in a war in the 

Middle East. 

We came to Wanstead as part of a national day 

of action called by the Stop the War Coalition, 

a campaign group set up prior to the war in 

Iraq which has been campaigning tirelessly 

against British and American warmongering 

abroad ever since. The group has a support 

network that spans the country and includes 

everything from religious groups to trade 

unions. 

I have been very fortunate in working for the 

group during my gap year, which has resulted 

in a fair amount of experience running 

stalls, leafleting and protesting. This is why I 

decided to come and campaign in Wanstead; 

I thought I’d bring everything I know about 

campaigning back to the High Street I grew 

up on. 

Anti-war sentiment is strong in Wanstead, and 

in reality, it is difficult to find anyone in Britain 

who believes that going to war with Iran is a 

good idea. Despite this, there is no doubt that 

when US troops are sent to Iran, British troops 

will follow. Given the chance we could lose 

the EU as a trading partner, the Conservative 

government is doing everything possible to 

keep the US a close ally – even if it means 

supporting Trump’s populism, racism and 

warmongering. 

By the time you read this, our next prime 

minister will have been chosen, but as Jeremy 

Left to right: Frank Burberry, 

Dan Redfern, Minnie Life, and Lucy 

Nichols of Student Stop the War 

Hunt was among the first to back Trump’s line 

blaming Iran for the attacks on the tankers in 

the Strait of Hormuz, and with Boris Johnson’s 

status as our own personal Donald Trump, it 

is safe to say we’ll probably be joining in with 

the war on Iran regardless of who our new 

Tory premier is. 

This is precisely why we must continue to 

mobilise against war. The best way to do this is 

by getting out and talking to people, as seen 

by the success of our stall. We amassed almost 

100 signatures for our petition and raised 

almost £60 in donations. Wanstead locals 

shared their concerns surrounding the grave 

threat of war, stating ‘it will impact the most 

vulnerable and innocent the most’ and that 

we ought to ‘learn from Iraq’. 

A Western war on Iran would plunge the 

region into uncertainty and utterly devastate 

millions of lives – just like the wars in Iraq, 

Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen did. I urge 

people of all ages – especially young people 

– to help educate, agitate and organise 

against war.

HOME from HOME 

Whether you are a tenant or a landlord, being involved in a dispute can 

be a stressful and difficult time if you do not have the right advice to 

hand, says Ruhul Ameen, a partner at local solicitors Wiseman Lee 

According to recent figures published 

by The Property Ombudsmen, the 

most common reasons for tenancy 

complaints are ‘poor management’, 

‘communication and record-keeping issues’ 

and ‘problems with tenancy agreements, 

inventories and deposits’. 

Similarly, separate research from price 

comparison website GoCompare suggests 

neighbour disputes remain a big issue in 

certain UK regions. Its survey found that 

London ranked as the UK’s number one 

‘hotspot’ for ‘nasty neighbour behaviour’, 

while South East England was one of the top 

areas for ‘noise’ complaints. 

This year, in a bid to increase protection for 

tenants, a raft of new laws have come into 

force. The Tenant Fees Act, which came into 

effect on 1 June 2019, now outlines specific 

rules relating to landlord payments. From this 

date, the amount landlords can legally request 

as a security deposit is capped to no more 

than the equivalent of five weeks’ rent. 

Further new legislation focuses on tenant 

health and safety. The Fitness for Human 

Habitation Act came into force in March 2019, 

updating the former Landlord and Tenant Act 

1985. All landlords, both social and private, 

must now ensure their properties are fit for 

human habitation at the beginning of the 

tenancy and throughout. 

Recent inspections of around 60,000 

properties found that more than 4,500 had at 

least one Housing Health and Safety Rating 

Assessment (HHSRS) issue. The main areas for 

concern were broken smoke detectors, which 

made up 40% of all issues, while more than a 

quarter of the problems reported were stair 

trip hazards. 

If the courts find that a property is not 

fit for human habitation, they may order 

compulsory improvement of the condition of 

the property, as well as possible compensation 

for the tenant. The criteria used to decide if a 

property is ‘fit for human habitation’ include: 

insufficient ventilation, not enough natural 

light, a serious damp problem, issues with the 

supply of water, drainage problems, lavatory 

issues, insufficient facilities to cook food, an 

unstable building or a property that has been 

generally neglected and in a poor condition. 

The penalties for landlords who breach the 

new rules are severe, with tenants now having 

more power to take action. 

The advice for any tenant or landlord involved 

in a dispute is to seek expert legal advice to 

ensure a small disagreement doesn’t turn into 

a lengthy and bitter legal battle. Depending 

on the nature of the dispute, it might not 

always be necessary – or sensible – to pursue 

court action. Options such as alternative 

dispute resolution can often help bring a 

disagreement to an end in a speedier and 

often less costly manner.

Park, Wanstead, E11 2PU. For more

Time to take part 

Following the success of last year’s postcard art exhibition, Eugene Coyle 

invites you to be part of this year’s time-themed display during next 

month’s Art Trail Wanstead 

One of the most satisfying elements 

of last year’s first postcard art 

exhibition was how many embraced 

the idea, interpreting the trail theme in 

many creative ways. It inspired me to run 

the exhibition again as part of Art Trail 

Wanstead, affording me the opportunity, 

once again, to communicate with many 

people locally and further afield. 

I enjoyed the challenge of inspiring fellow 

artists and non-artists alike to enter an 

artwork on a postcard, even if they don’t 

consider themselves creative. We are all 

creative! The exhibition’s core success lies 

in attracting submissions from those who 

wouldn’t normally consider entering the trail. 

We received several entries from overseas last 

year, making the trail truly international! 

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Art 

Trail Wanstead and the theme is ‘Time’. So, I am 

calling out to the local community to submit a 

postcard-sized artwork inspired by the theme, 

using any medium from painting or drawing 

to collage, photography, written word, textiles, 

printing, 3D, mixed media or any other form 

that inspires you. 

I encourage anyone interested in entering 

to go for it and be bold, be creative. Or if you 

know someone who would be interested, 

please spread the word, locally, nationally or 

internationally. 

The comments I received from last year 

included how those taking part enjoyed the 

challenge of interpreting the theme on such 

a small format, bringing out their inventive 

side. Others said it encouraged them back into 

art or were taking part in an exhibition for the 

first time. Last year’s exhibition was visited 

by many and I received compliments on the 

Eugene Coyle with 

postcards from last 

year’s exhibition 

creativity of artwork and how interesting it 

was to see such a diversity of styles on show. 

Another fun element of this kind of exhibition 

is that the work itself will be subject to the 

wear and tear of the post – this is part of the 

desired effect – and it may not even reach us 

(though hopefully it will). You simply create 

the work and then let go of it and see what 

condition it arrives in after its postal journey. 

So, get your creative hats on, enter a postcard 

and be part of your local art trail. Encourage 

children to enter so they can have the fun 

of hunting for their own artwork as part of 

the event. We also hope to sell the cards for 

charity, so you will be benefiting others as well 

as yourself. 

Send postcards to: Wanstead Post Art, 

c/o The Stow Brothers, 117A High Street, 

Wanstead, E11 2RL (include image title, 

medium and your name on the reverse) 

or deliver by hand to the postbox 

situated in The Stow Brother’s Wanstead 

branch. Postcards must be received by 

31 August. For more information, email

I 

was born and grew up in Wanstead, 

and was lucky to attend Wanstead 

High School, which has a fantastic art 

department. We had some great teachers 

– Phil Tootell, Don Campbell and Dave 

Hall – who were a big influence on me and 

gave me so much encouragement. They 

were very enthusiastic and inspired me 

to develop my art, experiment and push 

boundaries. 

I did my foundation course at Sir John Cass 

School of Art, studied graphics and illustration 

at East Ham College of Technology, then 

worked in a graphic design studio. More 

recently, I have been attending a class at 

Wanstead House, which has given me a fresh 

perspective and has inspired me to challenge 

myself and experiment with different media 

and new ways of working to develop a more 

personal style. I will be showing some of my 

new work at Wanstead House as part of our 

group show. 

Wanstead was a great place to grow up. I 

loved the outdoors and spent a lot of time 

in Wanstead Park and by the River Roding, 

which gave me an appreciation of nature. I 

seek to capture a sense of place. I love the 

landscapes of Essex, Suffolk and the North 

Norfolk coast, and I like to paint places that 

give a sense of peace and tranquillity, almost 

dream-like, in which time seems to stand still. 

I work in watercolour on board and I like the 

subtle colours of nature. I also like urban street 

scenes and like to paint and take photographs 

in Whitechapel and Spitalfields. 

High 

Art 

My biggest influence is Impressionist art, 

and contemporary artists I admire include 

John Tookey, Roger Dellar, Jan Munro and 

Mike Bernard. My work has been shown 

at The Association of Illustrators’ gallery, 

Leytonstone Arts Festival and Changing Room 

gallery, among others. And this year, I will be 

exhibiting at The Larder for Art Trail Wanstead. 

To view more of Sally’s work, visit

will take place from 7 to 22 September.

WWII memories 

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II, the 

East of London Family History Society is inviting its members to share 

their wartime memories. Janet Seward reports 

In August, the Newham and Redbridge 

branch of the East of London Family 

History Society will hold a members’ 

evening, but guests are still welcome. These 

evenings are an opportunity for members 

to share family stories or the trials and 

tribulations of detecting their ancestors. 

We don’t usually have a theme to these 

evenings, but as September brings the 80th 

anniversary of the start of the World War II, 

we have decided to devote the session to 

memories of that time. So far, we have three 

confirmed speakers. Michael Potter and I will 

co-ordinate the evening. 

One of the first significant events of the war 

for many was the evacuation of civilians, 

especially children, from areas most likely 

to be bombed. Most of us have family 

experiences of evacuation either first-hand 

or passed down to us. My parents and their 

brothers and sisters were evacuated, but 

a combination of home sickness and the 

Phoney War saw them return to London by 

Christmas 1939. There were, however, two 

heart-warming exceptions. My mother’s 

youngest sister and brother, aged four and 

six, were evacuated with a 10-year-old sister. 

The elder sister was given strict instructions 

by my grandmother that “the little ones” had 

to stay together, which she achieved. The two 

small children were placed in the loving care 

of a middle-aged couple who managed a 

smallholding in Uxbridge. The little ones kept 

in touch with ‘Mum and Dad 2’, as they called 

their evacuee parents, and still meet their 

grandson, who they knew as a baby as he was 

born while they were evacuated. 

Michael will start the event with an 

introduction and some first-hand memories of 

his wartime childhood and evacuation. 

Dennis Galvin will then give a talk on his 

memories of being evacuated from London. 

Dennis summarises his experience by saying: 

“It all started appropriately enough with Land 

of Hope and Glory, Pomp and Circumstance 

(all men must be free) and Rose of England, 

and then with no buckets and spades or 

ice cream cornets, we seemed to go for our 

first-ever holiday to a very beautiful part of 

England.” 

The advent of war meant men were called 

up to fight, and former soldiers and sailors, 

many veterans from the First World War, were 

required to train the new recruits. Many exservicemen 

had joined the police force when 

they retired from the military and, of course, 

the police was full of fit young men who were 

needed for active military service. The result 

was police numbers suffered just at the time 

a resilient full strength force was required. 

David Swinden will give us a short talk on 

the Metropolitan Police during the war. It will 

include how the force managed their activities 

by recruiting 27,000 auxiliary police officers. 

The East of London Family History 

Society will meet at Wanstead Library on 

28 August from 7.30pm (visitors: £1.50). For 

more information, call 020 8554 8414

emergency 

Councillor Paul Donovan and Councillor Jo Blackman explain how the 

recent declaration of a climate emergency by Redbridge Council will 

impact on Wanstead life 

Redbridge Council has declared a 

climate emergency, committing to go 

carbon neutral by 2030 and carbon 

free by 2050. The council unanimously 

carried the motion – brought by Wanstead 

Village councillors – on 20 June. 

Enactment of the motion will bring the whole 

question of the environment up the council 

agenda. The big challenge now is to put the 

worthy words into action. 

The motion commits the council to carry out 

a green audit of its services and tackle air 

pollution, particularly at schools. Plastic use is 

to be radically reduced in council operations, 

with efforts being made to cut single-use 

plastic right across the borough. The waste 

and recycling elements of the motion look to 

very much focus on stopping producing and 

throwing away so much in the first instance. 

The council will look to make existing 

council-owned property as energy efficient as 

possible. Renewable and sustainable energy 

will be positively encouraged in Redbridge 

through the council’s planning, estate 

management, investment and procurement 

policies. Ideas like municipal renewable 

energy companies will be looked into 

alongside other London boroughs. 

There will be big efforts to improve 

biodiversity, with tree planting plus the 

extension of wildflower planting schemes. 

There will also be advice on how to live in a 

more sustainable way. 

Much of the content of the motion is drawn 

from the Wanstead Environmental Charter, 

with its emphasis on the need to address 

climate change, biodiversity and pollution. 

One of the five means to do this will be 

Local councillors and campaigners in 

Ilford ahead of the climate emergency vote 

via better cycling and pedestrian facilities 

for people to enjoy. These ideas will be 

based on the lessons from the mini-Holland 

scheme in Waltham Forest, which has had 

a dramatic impact on tackling air pollution 

and improving health, with the number of 

households exposed to more than the EU 

recommended maximum amount of nitrogen 

dioxide dropping dramatically, from 58,000 

in 2007 to just 6,300 in 2017. The recently 

announced Local Implementation Plan will 

see some of these developments coming to 

Wanstead in coming years. 

So, these are exciting times, as the 

environmental face of Redbridge is set to 

change. The key, though, will be to keep 

up the momentum. The most important 

word in the motion is emergency. The 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 

said the world had 12 years to stop warming 

going above the disastrous 1.5ºC. Well, we 

have spent the first year expelling more hot 

air on the subject; now, the time has come 

for action. Redbridge Council has expressed 

its intent to take on the crisis, but it will be 

ultimately judged by what happens on the 

ground to make this a reality.

charter, visit wnstd.com/charter

History continues 

Once frequented by highwaymen and now run by a football legend, 

the site of the pub now known as Nightingale on the Green has a rich 

history. Millicent Brown reports 

It is a historic Wanstead public house 

which has been visited by families for 

centuries – and recently, it has been 

buzzing once again under changed 

ownership and the new name of 

Nightingale on the Green. 

Dating back to the early 18th century, the 

picturesque green it is situated upon – once 

known as Mob’s Hole – was the heart of all 

the crime that characterised this now tranquil 

area of Wanstead. At that time, a woman who 

called herself Lady Butterfield kept a notorious 

roadhouse here. 

The green was a well-known place for people 

to go and enjoy a drop of alcohol and some 

gambling – and legendary highwayman Dick 

Turpin was the most regular and famous 

visitor. In fact, he and his accomplices are 

thought to have used many different parks 

and buildings in the whole area to launch 

their raids on who they thought were wealthy 

families travelling through Epping Forest. 

Turpin, born in 1705, and his accomplices 

certainly made our Georgian ancestors watch 

over their shoulders! 

The current building dates back to 1851 and is 

now Grade II listed. It is the only building from 

the Victorian era to remain in the square. The 

pub has enjoyed many different landlords over 

the past centuries – the first known landlord 

was James Wyatt from Dorset – but the one 

most locals will remember is Noel McMahon, 

who ran the place for 30 years. More recently, 

it was taken over by the football legend Frank 

Lampard Snr, whose son, also Frank, was 

recently appointed manager of his former club 

Chelsea FC. 

Most people will remember the pub’s current 

landlord as he was capped twice for England 

An image of the pub with A H Bywater painted 

above the door, who was landlord in 1901 

and played as a left back for West Ham for 

most of his career. Prior to that, he had a brief 

spell at Southend United. 

Since taking over the pub, Frank Snr has taken 

a keen interest in the local community – and 

the main thing he has become involved in is 

Snaresbrook FC, based on the Nutter Field, 

which he is now sponsoring for the second 

season. “It has been absolutely fantastic 

running this pub – all the customers are 

so friendly and seem to get on really well. 

Recently, the weather has been great at times, 

so people have enjoyed a barbeque. When it 

hasn’t been so good, everybody has stayed 

indoors and watched Sky Sports on telly or 

had a quiz,” said Frank Snr. 

The venue has now enjoyed refurbishment 

both inside and out, which happily hasn’t 

spoilt the way it looks – and the pub has 

managed to keep its traditional green colour 

and cosy atmosphere.

ECO-FRIENDLY TRAIL 

The popular Wanstead Fringe Jumble Trail returns next month and 

this year it will be doing its modest part to help protect our planet. 

Mark Herring reports 

As usual, the Fringe will unleash a full 

and varied programme of theatre, 

comedy, music and art on the people 

of Wanstead, with new venues and plenty 

of old favourites. 

That includes the one and only Wanstead 

Jumble Trail, which offers a brilliant 

opportunity to clear out your wardrobe and 

free up some space in the toy cupboard – 

assuming you dare to open it. 

The trail also provides a great excuse to get 

out there and meet your neighbours, steal 

ideas for your garden or just have a wander 

around the area. Who knows who you might 

meet – or what you might find? And this year, 

the trail aims to be more eco-friendly than 

ever. 

Without wanting to sound too right on, 

man, there’s a real sense of environmental 

awareness in the community. This year’s 

Wanstead Fringe hopes to reflect that by 

bringing a greater purpose to the jumble trail, 

a purpose even greater than following the 

kids around as they hunt for plastic toys to fill 

the space you’ve made by getting rid of their 

old ones. Yes, the trail encourages everyone 

to reuse household items and keep them in 

use for longer. This year, however, it will also 

introduce new opportunities to repair and 

recycle too. 

An expert team of seamstresses will have their 

needles at the ready to treat split seams, care 

for wonky buttons and reinvigorate worn 

elbow patches – if you’re sure you really want 

to wear elbow patches. If there are any Cubs, 

Scouts, Brownies or Guides in your household, 

you may also be interested in their badge 

sewing-on amnesty. Life doesn’t get much 

more Wanstead than that! 

JUMBLE 

TRAIL 

66 

The Fringe is going green in other ways too. 

Look out for the plant clinic hosted by the 

Wanstead Community Gardeners. They will 

answer any questions you have about your 

indoor or outdoor plants and also hold a 

succulent planting workshop for under-10s. 

As you probably know, botanists consider the 

succulent a kind of cactus, while those who 

grow the plant as a hobby often disagree. If 

you’re not quite sure which side of the debate 

you’re on, why not take home a succulent of 

your own? Simply turn up with a household 

item to be recycled and a (non-) cactus-style 

plant is yours for the asking. 

You’ll find this year’s main Fringe central 

hub behind the Corner House on Wanstead 

High Street, where you’ll be able to pick up a 

jumble trail map. You will also find a variety of 

jumble stalls. 

If that’s not enough, a fully qualified bike 

doctor will be on hand (and knee) to help you 

out with any repairs. What more fitting way to 

follow the trail? 

The Wanstead Fringe Jumble Trail will take 

place on 14 September from 12 noon to 

4pm. For more information and to register 

to take part, visit wnstd.com/fringe19

In the 15th of a series of 

articles charting the Wild 

Wanstead project – which 

aims to transform Wanstead 

into a multi-garden nature 

reserve – Nicola Steele 

explains the benefits of 

living walls when garden 

space is tight

Wanstead is buzzing with builders, 

as usual. But how can we keep 

it buzzing with bees, too? In 

our smallish gardens, large extensions 

can significantly reduce available space 

for the plants and trees so essential for 

wildlife (and humans) to thrive in cities. 

But one solution to help enhance the 

natural habitat while you build is to wrap 

your extension in greenery – and a living 

wall is a way to do that. 

Living walls are a growing trend around 

town and look set to become a more 

common feature of urban buildings 

because of the significant environmental 

benefits they bring. Whether for an office 

or someone’s home, green walls reduce 

air and noise pollution, create a natural 

environment that improves our health and 

wellbeing, support insect and bird life, and 

look great. 

But one of their most important benefits 

is their thermal impact. With temperatures 

in France topping 45ºC this summer, it’s a 

reminder that Londoners are expected to 

face regular intense heatwaves in the years 

to come as climate change begins to bite. 

Urban temperatures are pushed higher by 

hard surfaces like roads, buildings, patios 

and drives which absorb and trap heat, 

and made worse by the heat released 

from air conditioners. This causes our city 

temperatures to be up to 10ºC higher than 

rural areas, resulting in what’s called the 

urban heat island effect. 

Living walls are a great way to prepare for a 

new, hotter future because they help make 

buildings cooler in the summer (as well as 

insulating them in the winter). In fact, the 

cooling effect caused by plants transpiring 

means green facades effectively remove 50% 

of solar radiation. 

There are lots of different ways you can 

create a living wall – from using a specialist 

supplier to produce a custom-made design 

feature to doing it yourself by installing 

vertical planters, or even just by leaving 

a few strategically placed flower beds so 

you can grow shrubs and climbers directly 

outside. 

Living wall experts Scotscape say careful 

plant selection is important in vertical 

planters to keep the wall healthy and 

looking good all year round. You can 

download a plant list with guidance on the 

best options for living walls in all situations 

from their website (wnstd.com/scotscape). 

They also offer free living wall training days 

for anyone who’s interested in creating a 

feature wall using plants. 

As the ecological emergency deepens, every 

square metre of land we are responsible 

for becomes a precious resource for 

wildlife, and thinking vertically opens up 

a whole new space that can increase the 

footprint of your garden. So, at the very 

least, why not let a few pollinator-friendly 

climbers bring new life to your brickwork? 

Clematis, honeysuckle and jasmine will all 

look a treat.

Charting the Charter 

In the seventh of a series of articles following the progress of the 

Wanstead Environmental Charter, Councillor Paul Donovan explains why 

you should return plastic packaging to the supermarkets 

The work of creating a cleaner, greener 

Wanstead has focused recently on the 

need to cut plastics, especially from 

the High Street. Inspired by the excellent 

BBC programme War on Plastic, the people 

of Wanstead recently took unwanted 

plastic packaging back to Tesco, M&S and 

the Co-op. 

Plenty of plastic was piled up in the trolleys, 

then delivered to the managers of the 

different shops. The managers showed a 

positive willingness to engage and continue 

the dialogue. Tesco pointed to its own 

recycling record. 

The problem, of course, is huge, with plastic 

choking the planet. Now, the stuff is literally 

everywhere: in the food chain, water supply 

and air. It is estimated there are 19.5 billion 

single-use plastic items in the UK at any one 

time. And these plastic usage levels are set to 

triple by 2025. There were eight billion plastic 

bottles produced last year. 

Something clearly needs to be done. At an 

individual level, we can all aim to cut out 

single-use plastic. Locally, Redbridge Council 

is aiming to cut single-use plastic in its various 

facilities as part of the new waste strategy. 

Shops also need to stop promoting plastic. 

The fact supermarkets charge much more for 

loose fruit and vegetables than they do for 

those wrapped in plastic containers says it 

all. As we found on the #ourplasticsfeedback 

day of action, the supermarkets often quote 

recycling in defence. However, the real 

challenge is not to produce the plastic in the 

first place. 

One disturbing part of the War on Plastic 

programme concerned the discovery that 

recyclable waste from the UK was being 

dumped in Malaysia, where it was burnt. This 

created transport emissions, then the damage 

caused by burning to the environment and 

the illnesses in the local population. A failure 

on all levels. 

The story illustrated the dangers of an out of 

sight, out of mind approach to the problem. 

It is of absolutely no use to the planet if 

this country just transports the problem 

elsewhere for someone else to deal with the 

consequences. Recycling is good, but clearly 

there needs to be far greater scrutiny of the 

process – a verifiable, transparent audit trail 

to ensure waste really is being recycled in a 

sustainable way. 

The tide of plastic can be turned around. It 

requires us as individuals to stop using the 

stuff, re-use wherever possible and recycle. 

Put pressure on the supermarkets to act, 

take the plastic back. Also, though, we must 

get government to act to stop this deluge of 

waste that is choking the planet.

Trouble Above 

London City Airport’s Master Plan, released on 28 June, proposes to 

double the number of flights each year. Steve Wilks looks at the effects 

of the new proposals on Wanstead and its environs 

With an increasingly global and 

networked world, travelling 

in our jobs is becoming more 

commonplace. At London City Airport, in 

the last five years, its passenger numbers 

have grown by 40%, hitting 4.8 million in 

2018. It expects demand to rise to 11 million 

by 2035, but its current capacity is limited 

to 6.5 million passengers, according to the 

London Borough of Newham. 

London City CEO Robert Sinclair has stated the 

airport does not plan to build a new runway, 

extend the length of it or expand beyond its 

current site boundary. The airport wants to 

emphasise that it will focus on sustainability 

while expanding and using fuel-efficient 

aircraft and making its grounds operations 

carbon neutral. 

The airport has tabled a Draft Master Plan 

2020–2035 – it proposes to double the number 

of flights from 75k to 151k by 2035. It is also 

looking to relax a restriction that sees it close 

between 1pm on Saturdays and 12.30pm on 

Sundays, as well as an eight-hour overnight 

curfew and greater flexibility in its operations 

in the first and last 30 minutes of weekdays, 

meaning more early morning and late evening 

flights. A feedback form has been released for 

public comment until 20 September. 

With this in mind, the plans are likely to face 

some opposition from environmental groups 

and neighbouring residents in the outer 

boroughs. John Stewart, chair of campaign 

group HACAN East, has warned that “flight 

numbers could almost double from today’s 

total.” Local communities will be concerned 

about the huge increase in the number of 

planes proposed and in the early hours of 

the morning and late at night when many 

people find aircraft most intrusive. Even 

the safeguards the airport will put in place 

to reduce noise will have only a marginal 

effect by 2035. There are also the increased 

environmental effects – a 2010 MIT study 

suggests you are more likely to die from 

exposure to toxic sulphur dioxide pollutants 

from plane exhausts than in a plane crash. 

There is also very limited consultation by the 

airport – no consultation events are being 

held in some of the most heavily overflown 

boroughs, like Redbridge. This risks ignoring a 

significant proportion of residents who will be 

most affected by the proposals and this does 

not bode well for transparency in its dealings 

with key stakeholders. 

While we have to accept the commercial 

realities of business, and the fact people need 

to travel, it is essential trips are only made if 

they are necessary. Technology now allows us 

to have conference calls online, thus enabling 

people from different locations around the 

world to connect. This surely must be cheaper 

for companies to invest in and less disruptive 

to employees and their lifestyles. 

A public meeting on the proposed 

changes will take place at Buxton School, 

Cann Hall Road on 30 July from 7.30pm.

I 

took this photograph a few years ago, 

before mobile phones were as everpresent 

as they are now. Such a scene 

today would possibly not warrant a 

photograph or even a second glance. 

A photo club outing to London’s higher 

viewpoints included a visit to City Hall (as part 

of the annual Open House London festival). 

I therefore took advantage of the only time 

in the year when the public has access to the 

viewing gallery on the ninth floor, outside 

London’s Living Room; this is where you often 

see the mayor holding forth in television 

interviews. 

Looking over the barrier, I caught sight of 

these two men absorbed in their phones 

down below. Unaware of each other, and in a 

harsh urban environment, the scene of which 

they were part conveyed a sense of isolation. 

By using a short telephoto lens, I was able to 

exclude any distractions outside the frame 

and focus attention on the two figures and 

their immediate surroundings. 

Of course, the original photograph was in 

colour, but the slate grey landscape, the 

somewhat gloomy lighting and the figures’ 

dark clothing presented a very limited 

palette. Back home, when editing the day’s 

images, I decided this one would benefit from 

converting to monochrome. 

I wanted to home in on the two figures 

even more, so I cropped the image quite 

dramatically – the picture shown is only about 

one third of the original scene. With a little 

lightening of the shadows and a boost to the 

contrast, I produced the final image you see 

here. 

I hope the photograph conveys some of what 

I was feeling when I pressed the shutter on 

that day.

Learning the Ropes 

Sian Paterson is Wanstead’s newest bell-ringer, learning the ropes at 

Christ Church. Here, she recounts her lessons so far and encourages 

others to help keep this tradition alive 

I’m Sian, I’m 23 years old and I’ve lived 

in Wanstead my whole life (minus three 

years at university). I sing in the Parish of 

Wanstead choir, worship at St Mary’s and 

am involved in wider parish activities. Most 

recently, I responded to a plea to join the 

bell-ringing team at Christ Church to help 

keep the tradition alive. 

Having only ever rung the bell at St Mary’s by 

pulling on a small rope (which I now know 

is called chiming), the thought of ringing 

‘proper’ church bells was quite exciting! I 

had no real idea what I was letting myself in 

for but I like to learn new skills, so I thought, 

‘why not?’ 

John Eyre, chief bell-ringer, invited my dad 

and I to the bell tower one evening for our 

first lesson. If you live near the church, you’ll 

be pleased to know that before we were let 

loose on the bell, it was tied so it didn’t make 

any noise! 

The first thing I noticed is that you can’t see 

the bells, and the only way you can control 

them is by pulling ropes that dangle from the 

ceiling. I was told by multiple bell-ringers that 

it’s like “learning to ride a bike”. This is true, if 

you ride a bike with your eyes shut, or in the 

dark – you have to internally visualise what 

is happening above your head and sense 

the weight and balance of the bell without 

looking up! I’m hoping, eventually, my muscle 

memory will kick in and I’ll be able to ring the 

bells even better than I’ve ever been able to 

ride a bike. 

John explained the different parts of the bell 

mechanism using a miniature model in the 

chamber. The woolly bit of the rope is called 

‘the sally’, and when you pull down on that, 

it’s called the hand stroke. The end of the rope 

Sian with chief bell ringer John Eyre 

is imaginatively called ‘the tail end’ and when 

you pull on that, it’s called the back stroke. 

Our progress has been quite good: in the first 

lesson, we learnt only the back stroke. For 

the second lesson, we learnt the hand stroke 

and put the two together. You can probably 

tell from my face in the photo that it wasn’t 

that easy at first. But I think I am getting the 

hang of it. I can’t wait to ring a bell that’s 

not tied! 

Watching the current bell-ringers practice 

is really amazing. They’re a very welcoming 

bunch and very good at what they do. The 

team are still looking for new volunteers, 

so if this is something you might enjoy, do 

get in touch. It would be great to see more 

volunteers helping to keep this tradition 

going for future generations.

THE GAP! 

We asked DR AMJAD MALIK to 

explain why dental implants offer 

the best solution for missing teeth 

Who can benefit from having implants? 

– Almost anyone with one or more teeth missing.

What difference do implants make? 

– Implants can noticeably improve a person’s 

confidence and self-esteem, but there are further 

benefits. Take my father. Before he had implants, 

he would choose only soft foods that were easier 

to eat with his dentures, rather than what he 

liked. After the implants he was able to eat anything, 

and was happier to dine out. Not only 

could he chew his food properly which 

improved his general well-being; he also looked 

better and younger. 

WE WILL 

NOT BE BEATEN 

ON PRICE! 

Why are implants better than other solutions? 

– Because they are fixed into your jaw, just as 

natural teeth are. Alternative solutions are 

removable dentures, which can be embarrassing, 

and unromantic, or bridges, for which good 

teeth either side of the gap have to be damaged. 

How long do implants last? 

– There is no limit but like natural teeth, they 

need maintenance and servicing. The mouth is a 

dynamic machine: teeth and implants undergo 

strong mechanical forces, so regular checkups and 

hygiene visits are a must, as with natural teeth.
