View of Christchurch Primary School's Minaret from Wellesley Road
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.

A 110-year-old photograph!
Everything in this photograph (save for the modern junction box at the bottom of the image) is 110 years old. If this were black and white, I'd forgive you for thinking this was taken in the 1900s! This is the rear of the Dane building and the side of the site manager's house. View taken looking south.

View of the Dane building and the site manager's house from Wellesley Road
The Dane building now houses the Teacher's Centre, but in the early 20th century it was Dane Primary School - a separate school from Christchurch, meaning that were two separate schools on one premises! My father and grandfather were educated here, my grandfather in the 1930s and 1940s and my father in the 1950s and 1960s. The building in the foreground on the right is the site manager's house. View taken looking south from Wellesley Road.

View of Raphael House from Ley Street
Looking south-southwest. On the left is the Bell pub, yet another pub gone at the mercy of the economic climate and 2007 smoking ban.
