Sad, really

Uh oh. Parking charges

Posted on Monday, 9 November, 2009 by Wansteadium

On-street parking charges on their way to Wanstead? Library to be the thin end of the wedge. Wanstead Guardian story has details.

The library in Spratt Hall Road will be the first in the borough to introduce parking charges in a money raising scheme that will also see charges introduced for parking in streets around public parks in Redbridge.

*There is, however, a brief window of parking opportunity. Details here.

Post-Woolies Wanstead

Posted on Monday, 9 November, 2009 by Wansteadium

Nice post on the Wanstead Society blog about how our High Street shops are trying to fill the Woolies’ shaped hole.

Mas Beg and his doughty assistant Trevour [at the Pet Shop] are at this moment rejigging the shelves to accommodate more such useful items. Trevour tells us that they are open to suggestions and will always try to order whatever is requested. This is yet another example of how special it is to have our own small shops. They are Wanstead’s equivalent of the U.S. cavalry galloping to our assistance.

Introduction to Wanstead

Posted on Sunday, 8 November, 2009 by Wansteadium

Interesting introduction to Wanstead – plus stunning pictures – from Jonathan Lethbridge at the Wanstead Birder blog.

What is now known as Wanstead (from the Anglo Saxon “Wen”, a small hill, and “Stede”, meaning a settlement) once formed the extensive and manicured grounds of Wanstead House, until it was demolished in the 19th century. The owner, one William Wellesley-Long, was somewhat of a gambler, and after losing his fortune on VIIIVIIIVIII.com, had to sell the house – literally, brick by brick

 

Funny, the things that newspapers imagine will make you want to buy a copy
