My Plessey Bridge YouTube vlog is now live!
Footbridge 151, known locally as the Plessey Bridge, is an iron footbridge which connects Ley Street with High Road, in Ilford, Essex.
Ilford suffered a large amount bombing during World War II; the target of the Luftwaffe being the Plessey electronics factory, where equipment vital to the war effort was being manufactured. German pilots frequently unleashed streams of machine gun fire, in an effort to interrupt the supply lines. They were unaware that the factory had already been moved underground to a stretch of the Tube between Leytonstone and Gants Hill!
Come and take a walk in my shoes and I'll show you a view through a hole in the corrugated iron- a scar left over from one of these attacks and considered to be a vital part of local history.
As you know, I will always be a writer before anything else, and my Plessey Bridge blog can be found here:-
