Pubs
There aren't many decent pubs around here, but there are some
fine old buildings.

That's the Blakesley Arms, a friendly local with a cold cellar.
The Bass is sometimes quite good.

Is it a church? No it's the Earl of Essex. They sell Guinness,
Beamish and Paddy Whiskey.

The Ruskin Arms - Bikers , heavy rock music and an Indian bar
snacks menu from the restaurant at the side..

William The Conqueror - best avoided.

Sometimes it's worth going just outside of Manor park to reach
the Rose and Crown, almost in Ilford.

The rose and crown is near the River
Roding, here in flood.

This is a church, nothing to do with pubs at
all
Since the photo was taken it was badly damaged when the big
warehouse next door burnt down.
