  Thank you so much for putting this interesting vlog out. It has been so informative. So much so, that I went and voted myself. At times while watching I was on the edge of my seat. I had to take a sedative on one occasion to calm down. I have also made an appointment with the doctor as I felt at times my heart racing, which did cause me concern. Please in future, can you issue a warning for those with heart conditions not to view unless they are watching with another party. So they may call an ambulance if required. Please keep these Vlog's coming. I can't wait for another election, please don't let it be five years.

  I know that family in the first photo. It was taken in Poplar. The little girl wrapped in the blanket is my mother in law and still alive, the two girls in the pram are her sisters. Her.Mother is carrying her and her father is rhe ARP warden. The other lady is an aunt of the baby. We dont know who the little boy is.👍👍👍

  Wow, I hope it was ok to use the photo Martin ? I lifted it from the Internet at random, thought it was a meaningful photo to fit in with the important story I was telling. Had you seen the photo before ? I guess it must have come as a bit of shock to encounter it. Best wishes Pete Riley 👍😎

  @martinfey413424 күн бұрын

  Hi Pete, No problem with using the photo, it actually comes from a very short film with them walking down the street towards the camera. It has been used in books and videos about the blitz. We told the lady, my mother in law about it and she is the babe in arms in the photo. Sadly the two young girls in the pram, sisters of the baby, have both recently died, one in December and other one died only last week. As I said, nobody knows who the little boys was, there were 9 children in that family, but he is not one of them. I found out that the picture was taken on sept 8th 1940, the day after the first day of the Blitz. This is Poplar High Street. I was interested in your video, as I used to live in Romford and spent sometime in Harold Hill and knew people in that area. We had seen the photo before and we have a blown up photo in a frame in our house, I also found the video and slowed it down a bit, as it is short and added some poignant music to it. It was a pleasant surprise to see it on your video.

  @@martinfey4134 thank you Martin. Thank you for sharing the very interesting back story to this photo taken on 8th Sept 1940 during the Blitz. I can see why this photo means a lot to you and your family. The photo now has an extra resonance for me. Being you have lived in Harold Hill you might be interested in a video I put together regarding Lady Neave’s newspaper account of the time, telling the story of day one of the Blitz (7th Sept 1940) AKA “Black Saturday”, as it hit her Dagnam Park Estate on Harold Hill and London. If you have not already seen it you will find it on my You Tube Channel. Cheers !

To get the front view of the statue I couldn’t avoid the sun, so I thought it was a gamble taking the shot. But hey it paid off, glad you spotted my skills 😂. As for the cat. I wanted to break the footage up with something unusual and I thought of the Coronation street Tv cat.

  We moved to Petersfield Avenue in 1951 when I was 4 years old ,I remained there until I got married and moved away in 1968 . Mum & Dad lived there until 1989 , it truly was a great place to grow up what with playing in the woods in Leamington road and going over the Manor fishing either in the Carp lake or the lilly pond which was in front of the old house,it was knocked down by that time but the debris remained there. I can honestly look back on a very happy childhood .
