Gidea Park |
Situated within walking distance of Romford, Essex (but far
enough away for us Gideaparkites to call ourselves a
civilised society), the area has an interesting and rich
history, about which much has been written, so we won't go
into it here.
Meanwhile, we celebrate having Raphaels Park to the West
(Disputed territory this, rather like Kashmir, but it's ours
when the sun shines, and Romford's when the maintenance bills
arrive), and Gallows Corner to the East (one of the most
dangerous roundabouts in England - keeps unwanted visitors
away).
To the North we have the A127, mercifully separating us from
the strangers beyond, and to the south there's the London to
Essex railway line, soon to be incorporating CrossRail (great
for the value of our properties).
Within these barriers, we have a delightful mix of residents,
businesses, and life.
The purpose of the web site therefore is simply to inform you of what services are available and where, and to enable residents of Gidea Park to communicate their wants and offers to others, via the message boards.
Meanwhile ! If you live in Gidea Park, and like the idea of meeting some neighbours in a "Board Game Evening", where you can play chess, draughts, backgammon, trivial pursuit etc. in a relaxed, amiable atmosphere, get in touch, and I'll start such an event. It would be at my house in Main Road, and I'd be charging £3.00 each to cover some soft drinks and a few crisps, peanuts etc. You'd be able to bring your own drink if you wish (I've got the glasses), and there's both a smoking room, and non smoking room. Email me on les@gidea-park.com, with your full name and address please.
