Vickers Road
The road ’Vickers Road’ is numbered rather differently to other roads in the area as it was originally built as housing for the "Vickers" arms factory in the late 1800’s and early 1900s. Most of the houses still retain the original 19th century tiling and drainage outside of the front doors.

Frank Whipple Place, E14
Frank was my great-uncle, I’d often be ’babysat’ by Peggy while Nan and Dad went to the pub. Peggy was a marvel, so full of life. My Dad and Frank didn’t agree on most politics but everyone in the family is proud of him. A genuinely nice, knowledgable bloke. One of a kind.

The first train to ever arrive at Chesham, 8 July 1889 Chesham must be the most trivia-filled Underground station - the northernmost, westernmost, furthest station from the next down the line, a preserved signal box on a section of line with no signalling system AND it still has its water tower to replenish steam trains
