FOREST GATE FACES - 1980s

A well known and much respected local resident Hannah Streisow was  born in Bamberg, Germany in 1908, and came to England in 1936. She set up her own surgery in Claremont Road in 1950, which she ran full time until she was 81. She continued to work as a locum until 1999 and for many years Dr Streisow was the local Police Surgeon.  She delivered many of her patient's babies as well as two of her own grandchildren.
