The distinctive black minaret of Christchurch Primary School can be seen from a handful of streets on the Commonwealth Estate (so named as all the streets are named after cities from the Commonwealth countries). I attended Christchurch from 1994 to 2002, and so this was the view that greeted me on my walk up to the school every morning for 8 years - it hasn't changed one bit! I was also lucky enough to be there at the time when it celebrated its centenary in 2000. This is the view from Wellesley Road, looking southwest towards Ilford town centre.
