Carol Singing in the Eleanor
New Video Added. On their return from the Xmas lunch last week a diehard group of Geezers headed off to the Eleanor Arms on Old Ford Road for a few more beers. Here they encountered a choir from St Paul’s Church nearby. In the short video below, kindly sent to us by Sarah Gilbert, you can see the vicar, Rev. James Hughesdon, and the locals joining in with the carols and having a great time.
The video below is from Craig Richards who filmed, clockwise from the bottom, Ray Gipson, Don Tomlin, Ricky Ayliffe and Barry Stradling trying their best!
