Rathbone Cinema
Canning Town Cinema Hall
Cinema-going was extremely popular throughout the twenties and thirties, with people going two or three times a week to enjoy the glamour of Hollywood and the plush interiors of the cinemas. Canning Town actually had one of the first purpose-built cinemas, opened in 1909 in Rathbone Street.

Papermakers Arms
My father Sydney Charles Turfrey pictured receiving a dart trophy at the Papermakers arms Ilford. I believe the photo was taken about 1959/60.
After the war ended in which he served in the merchant navy throughout, my father took up darts with a passion and played for various local pubs. The Coach and Horses, the Rose and Crown and the Three Rabbits to name just three. All gone or closed now sadly.
