Does anyone remember this tower block being built?
The picture shows Fred Wigg Tower in Montague Road, Leytonstone, under construction in 1965. (Image courtesy of Vestry House Museum picture archive.)
Unlike some 1960s high rises, it is still standing today, but with a few differences.
Here it is in 2019. It looks like solid panels have replaced some of the railings. Do any readers remember when this happened?
Next we have a picture of boats on Perch Pond, in Wanstead Park.
The lake is still there today, but the boats are gone.
