I am now 90 years of age. Sir Walter adds All the ground facing Wirtemberg Street at Chip and Cross Streets is being levelled for building and the old houses are disappearing fast.
The small streets leading through into little Manor Street are very clean and tenanted by poor though respectable people, but little Manor Street is dirty, small, and narrow. Manor Street to Larkhall Rise is a wide fairly clean thoroughfare of mixed shops and houses which improves towards the north. The same may be said of Wirtemberg Street, which commences poorly, but from the Board School north is far better than at the Clapham end. I met someone here 6 years ago Reply.

I had an absolutely idyllic childhood there and it broke my heart when the council ordered us out of our home to build the Ellis Davd flats there. The very large house overlooked the fire station and we used to watch them practice putting out fires in the blue tower which I believe is still there.
Have you any idea where I might find any specific details or photos of Duppas Hill Terrace, number 23 and down the hill to where the subway was built.
To this day it saddens me to know they knocked down this house, my extended family lived at the next house down which I think was number 25 and my best school friend John Childs the next and last house down at number I miss those years so terribly and to coin a quote it seems they just disappeared like "tears in rain".

All well and good, but where is the actual bricks-and-mortar Albert Square in which the soap is shot? It'll come as no surprise to hear that it's an artificial film set. Perhaps less expected is that this bastion of East End culture isn't in London at all, but Hertfordshire.

Five minutes from the station, the entire square has been built in the kind of details necessary to convince an HD audience. These are no empty facades, but real buildings with depth, as can be seen in Google satellite view. The word 'secret' gets bandied about in articles like this with blithe abandon.
