Independent Leyton Orient Forum

I have just discovered that Stephen Lewis the deceased actor who starred in On The Buses and Last of The Summer Wine is interred at St Patrick’s Cemetery next to The Birkbeck Pub Leytonstone. He is near to a relation of mine and I saw members of the ‘On The Buses Fan Club ‘there taking pictures. The underground line runs alongside the cemetery , between Leyton and Leytonstone. Apparently there are a few noted people buried there including the last victim
Of Jack The Ripper , the Kray Twins and st least one of their henchmen according to the Gate Keeper. I would have popped into the Birkbeck as they do good beer in there historically, but sadly closed of course.

Oh Gawd.

My Nan and grandad plus uncle are all buried in there.

However, I do beleive the Kray Twins are in the cemetery at the top of chingford mount.

Yes the Gatekeeper was not sure. He had only been there few weeks still finding the ropes. Bit isolated over that way these days without the pub open as nowhere to get a cup of tea.

Langthorne Hospital in it’s heyday had a really good canteen but that hospital
Is long gone. Think it is flats now..

Are you a fan with a name like that?

They seem to be repeating the series at about 3am these days due to the ‘carry on’ style content.

Fascinating that information , thank you.

Timothy Evans was reinterred there after his posthumous pardon in 1966. Which I'm sure cheered him up no end.

Anybody can make a mistake.

The truly shocking fact among all this, is that there is an On The Buses Fan Club

I love you Butler

Why, it was a great series, bit of fun? Even watching the walls shake in Stan’s home like it did on Crossroads.

Gave men hope. If Jack could pull a pretty girl with those teeth, anyone could.

Did someone mention blakey ?

She used to pose topless for Men's Magazines. Back in the days when men were men.

She was a proper munter.

I am surprised you managed to prise the glued pages apart to retrieve them.

Weirder and weirder.
