Wildfire ? This is 2020s Dagenham. This was deliberate.

Cracking video 👏 hats off to all those who come from far afield, including Rob from High Wycombe 😂

Is there any progress in this case

Watney's beers were certainly not held in high regard by ale drinkers, including the staff at the brewery, during the 1960s-80s. The Tapestry was originally a Watneys pub called The Jolly Milkman but The Jolly Gardeners opposite was actually the nearest pub to the brewery by a few yards and belonged to arch competitors Young & Co from the Ram Brewery in nearby Wandsworth. On their lunch breaks, the Watneys workers preferred to congregate at The Jolly Gardeners to drink superior Young's ales rather their employer's insipid offerings in The Jolly Milkman across the road! No doubt that didn't go down well with the brewery owners who by the 1970s was the Grand Metropolitan conglomerate. Coors bought the brewery and so for its final few decades produced even more insipid US style lager.

The old Barnes Victorian 'nick' at 48'56" was my late fathers first posting when he joined the Met Police in March 1950. I took him back to see Barnes in a wheelchair around 3 years before he died (2015ish) and took his photo in front of it when it was already posh flats. He used to tell me loads of tales from his days in uniform at Barnes - VB (in V division). The Bulls Head Jazz room used to be in what is now the 'Bolan Room' right behind the bar. It was relocated maybe 5-6 years ago. I've seen blues legend Jimmy Witherspoon there 50 years ago along with others such as Charlie Watts in a small jazz trio, also Zoot Money and many others. Humphrey Littleton was a regular along with George Melly. Sadly not as nice a pub as it used to be IMHO

Have you done a show on East Sheen yet?

Brilliant show. It was like someone walking on my grave even though I am not dead. I grew up in the area, went to Mary Mags church and primary and spend many days walking all the areas you visited. Thank you

Love this. I was born and raised in barking. Went to st margarets school just behind the abbey. My mum was married in St margarets church. Then my auntie was married there. I went to Barking abbey comprehensive school. Barking has changed so much since I was there 😢

I was shocked when you mentioned Barnardo's sent children to Australia, yet did not mention the over 30,000 children they sent to Canada between the mid 1870's and 1939 - with even a few more beng sent much later! They ranged from infancy to 18 years of age with the purpose of being indentured farm labourers and domestic servants-many as early as age 4. Barnardo's had receiving homes set up in Toronto, and Peterborough Ontario, and Winnipeg and Russell Manitoba (an industrial farm). From there, the children were sent to work for "host families - mainly farmers. We often have to remind people of the spelling of Barnardo's. We remind them it is spelled Barn, and the way to remember is that many children slept and ate in the barns - sometimes even eating the same food as the pigs or whatever was left over from the dog's food! Australia received only about 7000 children in total from Barnardo's and another major organization and their experiences are just as horrific as those who were sent to Canada. On the other hand,there were over 50 organizations and individuals given financial and social support to send children to Canada (from religous and social groups, patrons, donations and 5 governments). Dr.Barnardo was charged twice (and found guilty the first time), with what he called "philanthropic kidnapping"...believeing some children were better off being removed, even forcibly, from what he considered to be unfit or immoral parents and conditions in which a child should be living. A usual comment from most of the over 100,000 children sent to Canada, under a child migration scheme that ran from 1869 to 1948, is that they were ashamed to be a home boy or girl, and especially a Barnardo girl or Barnardo girl because of the negativity surrounding them. The appalling stories of abuse, neglect and total disregard we have from these children whom we call Canada's British Home Children, are difficult to hear, and utterly tragic! In fact, we have a few research groups and genealogical sites dedicated to increasing awareness of all of these children sent to Canada.In 2016, I visited Barkingside, where my grandmother was placed before coming to Canada. I thought it such a beautiful area now, but even more so from viewing very early photos. Unfortunately, her cottage, Daisy, had been demolished a number of years ago. Anyway, just thought you might be interested in knowing some essential Barnardo history. What we today call "errors" made in the past were standard practices and perceptions at the time...and, although Barnardo's changed their focus, the actual child migration scheme in which they were the largest player, did not actually end until 1972.

Prior to being the old Rangoon it was known for years as The Boileau Arms.

Rugby was often called RugbyFootball.

This last episode on Mortlake was excellent. Really informative packed with interesting buildings and pubs and churches. Loved it.

Your history content is great :) especially as mainstream tv seems to regurgitate the same old topics, where as you are bringing lesser known subjects to light. I had barely heard of Richard Burton (apart from the actor) and I had forgotten about the word Ye not being said as Ye. These are delicious nuggets of knowledge that I am glad I now know. I'm not interested in seeing inside the pubs though as one pub looks much the same as any other to me, and they are only interested in themselves.

Love this one, particularly the information on Sir Richard Burton. Did you find out why he was thrown out of Oxford university?

I thought Cherry Tree had gone, it's bigger than I remember, the beer garden is bigger, we used to go there a lot, my late parents local pub, I lived not far from Valance House , only been to the park.

Have you and the missus been in the nick ?

Just to correct you as some one who was born in Becontree ... it has always been pronounced BEEcontree !! only new people to the area pronounce it Beckontree and never ever in the history of Becontree has it ever been pronounced Bickontree. Anyone born or schooled here pre 1990's is insulted when anyone pronounces Beckontree!!!!

thank you so much for the effort and research you put into these videos... monumental. I'm always fascinated.

Excellent!
