HISTORY OF ILFORD

Souster Brothers, a family cobblers, had a 'Boot & Shoe Emporium' at 88 High Road. A large clock marked the shop entrance and the sign above promised: "Wear our famous boots and walk in comfort." The business moved to 8 Clements Lane in 1935 and the clock relocated to the new shop. Also in the High Road stood the 'People's Meat Stores', beyond that 'Wilson's Ilford News Agency' and a library. The tram is heading towards Chadwell Heath.
