2001 - This one seriously cut me up. This is a drive through #Walthamstow and #Leyton (where I was born) in 2001. At the time this was filmed, I was about 13 and making the most of the area. Seeing the high street is utterly chilling. I was the trolley pusher for my beautiful, beloved grandmother who familiarized me with these very sights throughout my earth youth. Seeing them genuinely stops my heart, especially knowing she, my grandfather, and many other friends and family members were all walking around these streets at the time. Yes, the place looks run down, but it was part of my home, and it's what made us who we are. Now, it's a shadow of its former self and becoming more and more unrecognizable. You will see pubs, shops, and even the Riley's snooker hall that has been pretty much forgotten. They pass the old station and even visited the market, which played such a massive part of my early life. From a very young age, I was busy at Lloyd's Park or meeting friends to go into the city among these roads. When they turn onto the market, the nostalgia is literally overwhelming. Woolworths. Percy Ingles, fish and chip shops, and many places that were part of my life. At the very end they drive into Whipps Cross, the hospital that I and so many of my friends were born. And of course, where many of the people we love died. (Which looks very different now). I wonder who the children are in the back of the car. They'd only be a few years younger and many of my family members were at the time. This area was rough as nails with series crime issues even then, but it also produced some of the most loving people I've ever known. #RIP The good old days.
