East Ham's old Parish Church is a building of immense archaeological interest. It stands in solemn grandeur amid the rush and turmoil of modern life, as a silent witness to the stability and continuity of our faith founded two thousand years ago.

It is the oldest Norman church in London that is still in weekly use and has a 9½ acre churchyard which is now managed as a nature reserve by the London Borough of Newham.

I couldn't find a picture but I did find the bridge with the ducks in the national gardens! This is where I was taken when I was a kid and my favorite pasttime there, as with most kids, was to feed the ducks with the bread roll. Since I always gave my whole bread roll in pieces to the ducks my mom always bought my a second one for me. memories

The Abbey Mills Pumping Station, Stratford, E15

The building was designed by Joseph Bazalgette and completed in 1868. When built it had two tall and ornate chimneys either side of it, but during the second world war these were demolished, as they were an easily recognised landmark for German bombers on raids over the London docks (the original steam engines had by this time been replaced by electic motors anyway). The building has recently undergone restoration work and can be seen from the Greenway pathway south of Stratford High Street.

and Chaucer knew of Stratford too:

Ther was also a nonne, a prioresse,
That of hir smylyng was ful symple and coy;
Hire gretteste ooth was but by seinte loy;
And she was cleped madame eglentyne.
Ful weel she soong the service dyvyne,Entuned in hir nose ful semely,
And frenssh she spak ful faire and fetisly, After the scole of stratford atte bowe,
For frenssh of parys was to hire unknowe.
