So off Jessica*, the Corsa and I toddled to Leyton. They have a splendid "Entrance" sign... with a bollard right...

“Back in 1543, King Henry VIII was getting on a bit and had become more than a bit of an obese lardarse. This made climbing onto a horse, let alone hunting the royal deer, rather difficult.
