Pretoria House
In Pretoria Road. The house concerned is the one to the right of the elegant gated entrance, seemingly just an ordinary house now. It has the air of once being something like an undertakers.

Apartment Block, Leytonstone
Undistinguished and typical of hundreds of similar ones locally, but this one, on the corner of Fairlop Road and Wallwood Road, E11, is the VERY one with the blue plaque over the door celebrating the fact that Fanny Craddock (who?) once lived in a house near here which was later demolished. Gosh.

Who knows where Fanny Craddock lived ?
Well, it may come up in a pub quiz sometime. This blue plaque on a house in Fairlop Road, Leytonstone tells all. Fanny Craddock is not the only world-famous celebrity hailing from these parts; there's Alfred Hitchcock and, er, Jonathan Ross.

Site of Apthorp
Fanny Cradock (her name is incorrectly spelt on this plaque) is largely forgotten now, but in the 1960s and '70s she was very much a household name. Her popular television cookery programmes were a forerunner of the myriad of such shows nowadays available, and also featured her hapless husband Johnny. She led a colourful life in other ways, but was born in a house on this site that belonged to her maternal grandparents, named after a villa in Somerset where her grandfather had been born. The site is now occupied by flats.
