In RH13, I'm wondering if the light blue/white painted building on the right hand side of the road in the background, is the Pioneer Market, which is still standing. If so, this view is looking towards Ilford station from a location which is today the roundabout at the top of Ilford Lane. However, this doesn't seem to fit with the destination of the trolleybus in picture 12. Chris |

Chris In RH12, just to the right of the bus is a hanging shop sign 'Books' that connects in my brain to the old bookshop that, until recently, was on the corner of Ilford Hill and Cranbrook Road, which would make the block with Jason's Wonder Stores on the corner the present Sainsbury's: the opposite view to your idea! It would Pioneer Market on the left, where it looks as if there is some sort of open-air market in the picture. Pioneer market may be still standing, by the way, but not for long :-( -- Nick H (UK) |

David Bradley Yes, very interesting, and having visited Sainsbury today I am sure of this. The details of the window frames, the small break in the buildings before the two-storey building of which the bookshop is part and the architectural detail on the top of that building all are correct. I'll try to take the camera and get a present-day picture for you sometime soon :-) It is a shame that the bookshop closed down, and a bigger shame that its shopfront has been removed: it was very attractive. Should have been listed :-( Anyone got a photo? -- Nick H (UK) |
