For many years before i moved to Essex my wife and i lived for thirty years in Islington London, to which this area like many others has a vast amount of history even the history of streets listed alphabetically,
as well as famous people including actors and actresses as well, all very interesting stuff, naturally my wife was born in Islington even after we had been married for many years before moving to Essex, with our son and daughter,.
there was one of many places one being of a cattle market which at the time was the place to go to buy cattle, others of sir Hugh Middleton who brought water into Islington and the list goes on,
another interesting piece of history was of a place called cannonbery tower a place in the early years inhabited by monks, and later had small plays acted out by amateur actors,
at one time this theatre had to have renovations as i believe some work was to do with cellars and it turned out that workmen working in this cellar found bottles and bottles of i assume wine or some drinkable liquid,
well after a few hours it appears these workmen were found legless stoned out of their minds but happy , most likely paying for the buzz they got later with an hang over, even taking a serious chance of what ever it was that they were drinking,
as many of us know many places in ww2 were bombed and even those places had some history attached to them,.
so bearing this in mind have you or did you live at some time or other in a place that had some history attached to it , if so will you share your memories of those places with us,
