The chapel of the Ascension was built in 1882, and its first Vicar was the Reverend Joseph Hardwick Pemberton - he was still the Vicar when this photograph was taken. Considered then a part of Hainault Forest, Collier Row is now a sizeable conurbation.

I became a choirboy at the Ascension church when I was eight. I also joined the 2nd Collier Row cubs attached to the church in 1948. The vicar was Father Reynolds and the cub leader was Olive Smith. I attended Clockhouse Lane school from around 1944 until 1951. We were bombed out in 1945 when a doodle bug fell in Clockhouse lane and the blast blew out our windows in Highfield Road. We were in the Anderson shelter at the time.
My nan and Grandad (Henry Eastwood and Elsie Lodge) got married in this church in 1930. My Mum and Dad were married there in 1955.
