Geoff Wilkinson writes on Wanstead Daily Photo: “On the last Sunday before Christmas it was great to see the local traders open early. As you can see from the picture in A G Dennis, the local butchers shop, the window was being stocked with turkeys and the greengrocers, Harveys, was doing a brisk trade as well. Shop local if you can, the High Street is an important part of Wanstead.”
