The Bargrove Estate. This postcard shows Green End Road, with the newly built houses on the right. On the left is The Grapes public house. Bargrove Avenue – a cul-de-sac – led off Green End Road. This development was built on land once part of the Belgrave House Estate, which was re-named ‘Bargrove’ at the beginning of the 20th century.

Elizabeth and Gus Hill, were my Grandparents .and I remember visiting the pub many times in the 1950’s
Their son Fred was my father.Still have a few photos from those days.
Just a small point. I am pretty sure that the name of the lady who ran the sweet shop in Green End was Mrs Ranscombe.

My grandfather, William Pummell, had the Grapes from 1916 to 1920. Following his death in 1920, his daughter and her husband, Bet and Gus Hill took the pub over. They had 2 children Fred and Grace. I was born in Bethnal Green in 1937. To avoid the bombs, I lived at the Grapes from 1940 to 1942 and attended a small school near the station. Next door to the pub, down the hill, was a sweetshop run by Mr. and Mrs. Ramskin.
