The Brickyard, South Street, Romford
This does not seem to be on the local authority's listed building register, but has somehow survived the redevelopment of this area. I am fairly sure this was originally the front for some sort of builder's yard, if not a brickyard.

The Old Oak - another closed pub
It does not seem to be a permanent closure - yet. The "To Let" sign says it is to be let as a pub business.

Romford: Giorgios Restaurant, 222 South Street
If the food is as good as the website http://www.giorgiosessex.com/default.asp then this restaurant comes highly recommended. The pale blue tablet high up on the left side of this Art Deco building reveals its original owners to be "P.C. & Co Ltd", but a brief Google search failed to provide any clues as to who this organization was.
As a contrast in building styles to the right is the modern office block of Stolt-Nielsen House. Stolt-Nielsen is a Norwegian shipping and seafood company, and this is the office of its Stolt Tank Containers UK Limited subsidiary.
Update October 2010
I am very grateful to a lady correspondent who informs me that "P.C. & Co Ltd" stands for the builders' merchants "Page Calnan & Co Ltd". In fact following on from that advice I have now found the property as the Page Calnan Building in the London Borough of Havering's List of Buildings of Local Heritage Interest.
Alas the link to the Giorgios Restaurant menu does not work any more, and a quick Google search did not provide an alternative.
A look at the old Ordnance Survey maps in the area shows that Stolt-Nielsen House occupies the site of what was firstly an ancient church, and secondly a Corporation Yard with a mortuary!
