I grew up in Gants Hill and spent a lot of my youth and my 20’s in Ilford.
It was never particularly nice, but on the rare occasions I’ve ventured there since it’s become a right shit hole.
I’ve moved a little away from the area ( but still quite close) and the one place that brings me back there is Valentines Park. I went to secondary school there next to the park, but although it has a sentimental meaning to me I still think from an objective point of view it’s a beautiful park. It’s been cleaned up quite a lot as well in recent years too, must have received some council funds.
You must've gone to Valentines school then. I lived most of my childhood in Gants Hill, lived off the Eastern Avenue, not far from the station. My nan still lives there so go down every now and again. It's changed a hell of a lot. Went to school in Barkingside and that's changed even more. Don't recognise it at all.
How's it changed?
It looks like one of those unlicensed surgeries where you can get an arselift for £95.That moment when you realise that West Ham's state of the art medical facilities have a towel badly taped to the window instead of blinds...

I know of a lad from Hackney who was stabbed to death coming out of there one sad night back in the mid 1970's
I was mates with his brother. Pointless waste of life,

I think it might be one of those Slendertone ab workouts...Is he hooked up to a 1980's Amstrad?
Sugar would have made sure they got a faulty one too.
This little exchange is so West Ham...that literally sums up their fanbase.KUMB:
