The Roman Road is changing.
Woolworths has closed down because people
were not coming and they didn't have enough money. Before them, Safeways
closed down. People now have to shop somewhere else, like Asda. It makes
the Roman Road a bit different.
Why we think Woolworths closed
down. |

Olga school is on
Lanfranc Road.
Lanfranc Road is by
the Roman road.
We like this photo
because it has got nearly everyone in it. |
| Olga Street is near Lanfranc Road, it is next
to Olga Primary School and it is a really short street because we used some
of it for our new school playground. Joseph's Nan lives here. |

Why is the Post Office gone?
Now there is only a cash machine. People
can't buy stamps, they have to go somewhere else.
The people of Roman Road miss this Post Office.
Old people have to go over the canal on the bus. |
| This is next to the post office. It is a post
box. Somebody silly scribbled on the post box. It makes our area messy. |

This dust cart is very smelly. It squashes
rubbish. That means our streets are going to be clean enough. We are going
to be healthy and the cars are not going to slip. |

The Roman Road has a market. They have
lots of stalls that sell things.
They sell fruit and vegetables, clothes and
flowers.
Some stalls sell jewellery. |

The ideas Store has books that you can read
and you can go on the computer to do your homework. You can get ideas from
there. It used to be called a library. There is a fish tank there. |

There are lots of motorbikes. they are really
fast. |
| We took a picture in the fish shop. That is
a Catfish. That scares me because it's big and it has big teeth like sharks'
teeth. It's eyes; too big. |
|
 |
 |
|
The shop has lots of fruit and vegetables.
Where do they get them from? |
| This shop was closed down. Mariyah says, 'I
remember when it was open I was four years old and now I'm seven'. We think
it is going to be knocked down and become a block of flats with a smaller
shop. It was a good shop and people just used to go and walk there but now
they have to catch the bus to Tesco or Asda. |

Michael is the teacher who takes us to Roman
Road, and he goes to other schools too. He is teaching us about recording
videos of interviews. We appreciate it being in this group. |
Kelly's is a pie and mash shop. Linda (our
administrative officer) says,
'Oh, I love pie and mash. I love it because
I'm a true East Ender. I could eat it every day. It's one of my treats.' |

Joseph says his Dad used to go boxing here. |
| The crane picks up wood to make a ceiling
and a floor and it makes a block of flats. |
|
 |
 |
|
The crane is very good at lifting heavy building
materials. |
We saw a police
car in the Roman Road.
The police driver
wasn't wearing his uniform because he was on an undercover mission. |
