West Ham Park has a long and interesting history, stretching back to the 16th century.
Green Street and Plashet are two areas familiar to many Newham residents.
Carlton Cinema stood in Green Street. It was built in 1927 on the site of the old St-George's-in-the-East industrial school and was built in an exotic "Egyptian" style using decorative tiles. It stood until the 1980s, when it was demolished. For a time it was called the ABC Cinema. The rear of the site is now a car park although there are still shops along the Green Street frontage.
