Charles would be one of several: Caroline, Carolean, Carolingian, Carolinian. Until last year when Charles III came to the throne, by convention, Caroline referred to the reign of Charles I and Carolean referred to the reign of Charles II. Carolingian by convention, had referred to the reign and dynasty of Emperor Charles the Great of the Frankish Empire, Charlemagne. There's no official word on how the current reign of Charles III would be referred to, but Liz Truss has referred to it in Parliament as Carolean when she was PM.

​@@foolonthehill731lol the people in Brixton think that about Walthamstow! Neither are _that_ bad anymore.

I loved the blue plaques that showcased the ordinary people that lived in this houses in the past. Paying homage to the regular folks who also made history in their own small way

I was born in Walfamstow and we lived in a terraced house in Forest Road. In 1966 or thereabouts it was sold and we moved to the coast. I don't know how much it sold for then but in 1997 in sold again for £69,500. According to the websites that know about this sort of thing it's now worth £713,000. That's mental.

I'm a Spaniard living in Walthamstow for 3 years already. The best years of my life!

Was there 25+ years ago and it was depressing back then... .I really didn't think it could of got any worse until I watched this video

It was the longest market. On a Saturday it was chockablock from hoestreet to st James Street. But the council decimated it. Built blocks of flats on all the car parks so nobody could visit by car anymore.

You probably don't remember but we met shortly on Charing Cross road on june 16. I was so nervous to meet you so what i said probably didnt make any sense apart from "I follow you on KZread" So happy I met you that day! My first time back in London since 2012 and than I get to meet my favourite KZreadr.😊

Loved this❤ Walthamstow wasn't what I was expecting. Really vibrant interesting and tidy looking neighbourhood, amazing lack of the scourge of the Graffiti craze that has taken over much of London and other Cities.

As a Walthamstow resident I'm glad to say you have done E17 proud. Good job mate!

The first 7 years of my life were spent in Walthamstow way back in the 70s, went to Coppermill school infants with one of the members of East 17 - for the life of me I cannot recall which one :) The silver jubilee party held in Morland Road (where I lived) is one memory that instantly comes to mind.

A sister of mine married a Walthamstow man. I visited few times, in fact went to the market for bedding which was M&S seconds apparently and still using it. Well at the end of their road was part of Epping Forest with cattle walking around. Didn't expect that!

Great video Joolz. Walthamstow the centre of music culture - I always think of the Barron Knights "Live in trouble" when I think of this place - "Long ago, outside a chip shop in Walthamstow, lived a rocker called greasy joe...."

@JB-kk5vg

Agreed. That was in my head through much of the video and I was waiting for Joolz to pass a chip shop and give it a mention.

I worked in Walthamstow for 17 years. Also placed some of the stones in those lovely mosaics you saw. I now work in Hampstead, in a place that features in the background of one of your other videos.

I went to school in Walthamstow 1959-1964 at William Morris County Technical High School----now sadly demolished except for part of the upper playground and the old Cookery & Art block. Know the area very well. Our swimming baths was in Hoe Street, but looks as if that's gone too. Happy memories.

Yes! You finally came to Walthamstow! Absolutely loved this one, you've uncovered a few things I was completely unaware of while still showcasing a house our friends once lived in. You also ventured very close to our house so was a little disappointed we didn't run into you! 😊

Walthamstow was quite interesting! So many survivals from a previous age. And an enjoyable video it was.

Wonderful. I hope Georgie gets a lot of business from this. As always wonderful to watch, learn and enjoy. Talley Ho old boy

Brilliant vid as always Joolz. As a Walthamstow resident I loved it. When you're back in the area check out the Walthamstow Trades Hall on Hoe Street. Its like a time jump back to the 70s inside.

I love Sunday mornings with you.... before our current reality kicks in.... Much appreciated.🥰

My Mum was from Walthamstow and it was lovely to see the market (where I used to go a lot whenever we visited my Nan and Grandad who lived in Rectory Road until the late 70s). One of my earliest memories is of being in Manze's and watching an old woman eating stewed eels. My Mum and Dad were married in St Mary's church too.

So interesting, I used to visit my grandparents, who lived inConnaught street, the toilet was in the garden and we would bath in a tin bath in front of the fire. . My grandfather grew all their vegetables in the small garden and the front, tiny space, had flowers. I would go to a small park at the end of the street. My grandmother took me to the town hall for concerts. I can remember walking up Hoe Street. They are good memories. Thank you.

Have to say that anyone can find anything interesting about Walthamstow deserves a subscription

A new video! Great news. Dear Joolz, you are awesome. We are so lucky to have you. Take care 😊

My Dads family all came from Walthamstow. My Uncle & Aunt ran Smiths Toy Shop in St James Street back in the 60s. Elmfield Road.

😄 you’re going on about the first car being built in the guy’s backyard, I’m looking at the dog in the window with the wagging tail wanting a pet.

We love British history and culture....congrats for keeping it alive

I’ve never been to Walthamstow, but I’m definitely visiting now. Such lively locals. Plus, the classic pie and mash shop that’s now a sushi restaurant has given me a great business idea to open a hybrid Sushi Pie restaurant 😂

@unclemetal8774

11 ай бұрын

Would the pie have sushi in it or vice versa?

In the early 1970s, there was a shop in the high street called '118 Boutique,' where my friends and I purchased pairs of custom-made leather platform boots. These were in the style worn by glam pop artists such as Slade, 'The Sweet,' Elton John (I noticed he was still wearing platforms at his recent Glastonbury appearance). The quality of these real leather boots, in whatever colour you wanted, was very good; they were made on the premises to our own specifications. I recall paying about £25 for mine.

Oooh I've gone all nostalgic I used to live in the 'Stow ..... Manze's is shut 😮 bugger.

Lovely & interesting walk about Walthamstow, Joolz. I loved seeing the owls, and in particular, that which perches within the Orford Social Club, which is identical to the owl on our family crest: Sapere Aude - Endeavor To Be Wise.

Great video! I was born in Walthamstow in 1950 - I think my grandad had a stall in the market. I remember there was a live eel stall where they would go on wriggling after being cut up! Monoux used to be pronounced Monocks and the th in Walthamstow pronounced as in 'thought' rather than in 'the'.

I love the George Monoux debate. As a Walthamstow lad I always say "Monocks" like the rest of E17 but my wife from Tottenham pointed out it's French. Now that Joolz has said "Monoux" Mrs B has won our "bet". This is a great video and I was particularly pleased that Small Wonder Records got a mention.

​@@treborbob2002 I was brought up in Walthamstow, born 1945 in Thorpe Combe hospital. George Monoux was always pronounced 'Mono' as in monogram, monochrome etc. Never anything different! It is a French name, so is pronounced as in the French language. The George Mono(ux) school (for boys) was considered to be the 'brother school' of the Walthamstow High School (for girls) that was/still is, in Church Hill, Walthamstow. Agreed re 'th' being pronounced as in 'thought', unless you are a Cockney and want to say Walfamstow! :-) But the term 'cockney' only really 'officially' applies to those born 'within the sound of the Bow Bells' in London! A 'true cockney', that is. So that narrows it down a bit. I believe there is some connection between Walthamstow and Waltham Cross and Waltham Abbey in Essex, but can't remember what. Walthamstow was always considered to be in Essex, but that got a little lost when Greater London happened and it got a postcode etc.

My family originated in Walthamstow, it was great to see you there, thanks for the tour

Fun fact - Andrex (toilet paper) was founded in Walthamstow. Walthamstow marshes are also a popular site

Thank you - we visit our family with your walk - many walks we did and you help us to re- member ….hi Xavier -Iris - Fernando - Daisy!

Best bit of Walthamstow, which is unique to it and the surrounding areas is Epping Forest. An oasis in an urban sprawl.

I was bourn here, so many places i remember so many I'd forgot need to return and take my children thanks for tripping my memory. Dont stop your exploits your the best of the rest

Loved this. Best thing in weeks. My grandma used to live in Walthamstow. Thanks.

Hiya Joolz you missed the tail wagging in the window have a look first motor car 6:51, nice glimpse of this part of London. nice one

Today is Independence Day here in the USA. Because it’s Tuesday, we celebrated last Sunday. So today I’m just taking it easy. What a pleasure to watch one of your videos! Can’t think of a better way to spend my holiday! 😁

Always enjoy your videos (the book is great as well!) Having been born and lived in Chingford all my life I am familiar with Walthamstow. There still remains, as you showed, some very pleasant and historical locations.

This made a good watch Joolz thanks. Good to learn of the historical facts that are often missed on a daily basis. As always on the go at times it's difficult to stop and appreciate the little hidden gems of history that surround you. Hopefully will get to watch all your walking tours. 🙂

I was born and bred in Warfumstow, and was actually born in one of those Warner flats by the park before moving at 9 months close to the High Street. I remember the live eels in a stall outside Manze's. In the High Street there used to be the Palace Theatre, where many music hall stars performed. Demolished in the early 60s. At least the Granada was saved - it did in fact become a church for a short time before public pressure put an end to that. My father claimed to have driven the Bremer car, and there used to be a photo in the museum of him standing beside it. London buses used to be built in the town, and you can dine in a tube train carriage there now.

Dear Joolz the longest pedestrian or shopping street in Europe is in Heidelberg Germany.

The neon store is awesome! Neon started to be a "thing" in my hometown, San Francisco! The Neon Museum in Vegas is very cool to visit as well!

This was excellent Joolz. I've been visiting Walthamstow for ten years as it's where all my mates have settled. So much cool history about the place I didn't know. Massive shout out to the Nags Head and Rose + Crown crew .

Always amazed by these videos. Always a treat too. Can’t wait to see the new suit. What a wonderful craft this young woman has.

Map in the beginning would help all foreners. ned to strets after all this walking. love this channel.

Someone, in London, asked for the recommendation of a book to read. Naturally, I suggested your latest book. This guide to Walthamstow is as wonderful as all your tours. Very many thanks.

My hometown and where I grew up! It's not what it once was due to gentrification but still an OK place to visit once in a blue moon!

What a beautiful day for a walk around London, wonderful job as usual. Thanks.

Thanks Joolz. Nice to see how things have changed, yet stayed the same from my 60's & 70's childhood xx

I lived in this district when I visited London for the first time this year. What a lovely neighbourhood it is.

An incredible suburb of London, Joolz. This program is packed full of goodies of the district. I never knew that the combustion engined motor car started life in Walthamstow, and surprisingly, the bicycle too. That market, although not the longest now, looks delightfully inviting. Many thanks for this lovely video, Joolz, it's great!

The first British petrol car. After Benz.

I believe that naming houses was initially only done by the well to do naming their manor houses but it spread to the ordinary person giving his/her house a name

Thank you, I used to live there in 2015 (acctually Albert Rd - and then that house of the car "inventor" was under construction and not white but checkered tiles were there as they are now). :)

Was born in Walthamstow in 1973, My uncle Peter Herrington was the mayor of Waltham Forest from 2016-2017.

Another fantastic tour!

I never knew Walthamstow was so picturesque and interesting!

Woooohoooo!! A new video!!!!! Really enjoyed it, nice one

Another fabulous video Jools ! Thank you.

Lived in Walthamstow for 6 months, absolutely loved it. One of the best places to be

Am looking forward to seeing your new suit, Joolz! Also am loving your book and just bought another one for a friend who is hoping/planning on going to England next summer. She doesn't like doing the usual "touristy" things, so all your walking tours may be right up her alley, so to speak.

25:15 Walthamstow Assembly Hall is also a great recording venue for orchestras. Some of my favourite LSO records were made there. Puts the Barbican to shame sound-wise.

I might be wrong but I think the reason why there are names on the houses is because they are the names of the first families that lived there and had the houses built.

edited wonderfully Jools is a great commenter and ,Simon a great filmer. The attenion to small details shots like architectural details is great.

Love Walthamstow!

Your discovery of the plaque commemorating the inventor of the safety bicycle and later the Rover Car company reminded me that the Polish word for bicycle is Rower, pronounced with a "v".

Great video Joolz.....brought back some great memories.

Another great Vlog👍! There were moments while you were eating the pizza that the shadow from your nose made you look like Charlie Chaplin! lol! Loved your video you did on him with his grandchildren BTW! Class act with the "shout out" for your tailor to help promote her!

My maternal Great Grandparents lived in Walthamstow in the 1890's and my late Grandfather was born there in 1894. Cool to see the town.

Another excellent production, love the Walthamstow market vibe on a sunny weekend afternoon. And your tailor looked fantastic as well, dedication to her craft. Thanks Jules, Simon, Lou and all others involved!

I used to live on hoe street 30 years ago this vid brought back many memories . Thanks joolz. 👍

2 points to Joolz for spotting that vintage Penfold Postbox 😉👍

I used to live in Walthamstowe about 20 years ago, in Badlis Rd ...one road along from Lloyd Park and the William Morris Gallery. Great song from LOu!😃

Agreat video on the stow, loved it

Sad to see manze's gone, my grandad used to take me in there when I was a kid.

Good to see another video from you, Joolz 😊

So much to see in Walthemstow! My friend lives there in what used to be the dog stadium. The front of it is still there but where the track was is all houses/flats. Thought you might visit. Anyway next time I visit I know all the other places to visit. William Morris house looks particularly nice.

Yor So uplifting and informative, Im.totally hooked !

Another fabulous trip down memory lane! All these different areas of London are so well worth exploring, and you and Simon do them justice, you find such a lot of interesting stuff. It's always worth looking up as you walk around, there are some lovely features on these buildings. That long street market looks just great!

Simon coming to the rescue with his knowledge of the orders. Ionic ✅

Lovely video Joolz. Great to see around the area of Walthamstow, for which I only knew of the dog track and E17. Great to see your tailor in her own environment too.

Hey, thanks for the visit to sunny sea side on sea Walthamstow, great video, loved had meet up for a coffee and chat ☕️🧁

Love these videos man. To me, Walthmstow is just a place I pass to and from home or to go Westfield or Finsbury Park to play football. I have never actually spent much time in Walhthamstow. I just love all the facts and stories you have about everywhere you go. It is easy to take things for granted.

I grew up in Chingford near Walthamstow 1973 1986. Walthamstow village is great, also Walthamstow only partially gentrified and still a little rough around the edges which is great. Think the art deco town hall is becoming flats. Not sure however.

I just love watching these videos. So relaxing, entertaining, and informative. 👍😊🇮🇪🇬🇧

Oh wow. You really did it!!!🎉 Thank you❤

Always worth a watch!

Excellent as usual. TY.

Fantastic video! Loved the Tailor part. My Great Grandfather was a tailor in Walthamstow in which is now the antique shop on hoe street (of which he inherited after his father). Also live there now and saw a glimpse of you making the video in the village.

Thank you so much Joolz for another fantastic video. Your tours cheer me up in a swamp of gloom.
