Pubs that are no more in Leyton

[Mick McQuaid]

Probably had an E15 postcode but the Dew Drop was one of those backstreet pubs that just don't exist anymore. They had ladies glasses which they had rummage around for on the rare occasions they were needed.

Is that glasses that you put a quid in and ladies took their clothes off, or actual spectacles for women?

[Mick McQuaid]

A glass for a ladies drink but I'm assuming they had more than one. I don't actually recall what the ladies glasses looked like other than they were obviously half pint size.

That does seem like a more obvious answer, not sure what happened to my brain there.

Wakefield went ages ago, that was Grange Rd
When I was a kid there was a little bookies opposite the pub down a couple of steps.
My mum worked in that road too in the co-op chemist warehouse.
She lived in Grange Park Road as a youngster and Frank Muir of Call My Bluff fame lived fwo doors away.

Yes not only in Leyton. There’s not many traditional pubs left these days mostly all gastro.

That’s because they were in Stratford I do believe and not Leyton however I did frequent Cherries where Hackney dogs was situated and do you mean White Hart Bethnal Green?
