'Ahhh, Romford, lovely Romford…' I had thought it was called Rumford in days gone by, but never, ever, lovely!! |

Romford is lovely! Well, it was when it still had the brewery. Although it did smell a bit of hops… It was called Rumford (yes, I remember the Rumford Shopping Arcade…) Sorry, it just looks a bit twee and made up to me…..sadly… |

'it did smell a bit of hops…' That it did!! The smell of hops has gone now and been replaced with yet more chain stores – not so lovely! |
