What would bring them from Barking to the Whitechapel Rd?

A bit of coat trailing?

No...yet again the EDL,had a skinful of German Lager..to summon up the courage to throw bottles and shout insults,outside the East London Mosque.

It was near a Mosque , probably on their way to make a 'Peaceful Protest' after the pubs shut.

"Barking to the Whitechapel Rd?"

The Central Line?

[naomi24]

District Line.

[ChuckFickens]

Or the Hammersmith & city, but definitely not the central line.

[naomi24]

Definitely the District. I used to travel to the City on it every day.

[ChuckFickens]

I'm being pedantic, technically the District and the Hammersmith and city are the same line at that point. :)

[naomi24]

Oh, right. Is the 'Metropolitan' still in operation? That used to stop at Whitechapel.

Ahhh! Barking?... A town where I was born & brought up & married. It is steeped in history with the beautiful church of St Margaret. Names such as Captain Cook, Elizabeth Fry & Guy Fawks are all part of its history, but all that seems to be forgotten now. I've been back several times and I could cry at what 'My Barking' has become.
