elcome to the May/June edition of Inside Magazine, the local magazine for Chingford and Highams Park.

Historically, humans have always felt the need to rail against the disrespect of youth, but wisdom and experience have hitherto granted the grown-ups the upper hand.

“God, Dad, you’re so lame,” the teenage caveman would say.

“Yeah, but at least I can skin a mammoth.”

The senior alchemist knew more than the apprentice. The baker knew better than the trainee how to knead the dough. The elder engineer could teach the youngest a thing or two. But now we live in an era when the single dominant factor in our world is better understood by the young. They know more about computers and stuff than me. And they know that they know. Which means that they feel superior and get very disrespectful.

The other day I was expecting a video meeting with an old friend. I stared at the blank screen of my laptop, waiting eagerly for it to ring, or something. ”I think I’ve been stood up,” I said to my wife, who is a good two years younger than me and therefore a veritable IT genius.

“Er, hello” she said, with the smug superciliousness of (relative) youth. “I think you’re supposed to switch it on.” Ever since this, I need not add, she’s been highly disrespectful. So no change there, at least.

WATKIN’S TOWER or Trains, Towers and Turkish Baths STORY: DAVID YOUNG IMAGES: OPEN SOURCE

S

ir Edward Watkin loved a good train. He loved them so much that, after spending time in Canada and the USA, he wrote a book about the railways of that continent. I haven’t read it, (my research was never thorough) but I bet it’s a belter. Back in the UK, he eventually became a director of the GWR. And he was so good at being a director that, by 1881, he was director of nine railways.

Sir Edward Watkin loved travelling on trains, especially his own ones. I daresay that he would proudly proclaim to unsuspecting passengers, “This is my railway. Great, innit? I own this.” (No proof of this – just more incomplete research.)

Sir Edward Watkin, as director of the Metropolitan Railway, liked to make the journey from Baker Street to Harrow. There, sometime in

SIR EDWARD WATKIN 8

THE FIRST STAGE the 1880s, he would gaze out of the window at the lovely little villages along the way. And who amongst us has not shared in the joy of passing through Dollis Hill and Neasden, particularly as the Metropolitan doesn’t stop at them?

The village of Wembley, surrounded by green fields, appeared to him particularly pretty, yet it was in some way lacking. The thought nagged at Watkin, needling him every time that his train rattled through, until the thought struck him.

“Bless me for a silly sausage,” he thought. “It needs a giant tower, that’s what it needs, a bit bigger than the one in Paris.”

You may call him a dreamer, particularly if I mention that he’d already ditched a plan for a tunnel under the Channel in 1881. He had thought that he might thus run his trains into Paris, but it never happened. But a giant tower in Wembley? – now that sounds like a very good idea indeed.

Sir Edward Watkin wanted to tempt people onto his trains, to inspire them to travel. Beyond London lay the unspoiled beauty of the countryside, out in Buckinghamshire, or nearer at hand around Willesden and Kilburn. And there was Wembley, lovely Wembley. If there could be a giant tower, then the public would be daft if they did not come.

He bought some land, and planned for an amusement park, with lakes and gardens and stalls, and there, at the heart of it, thrusting

towards the heavens, a great big colossal tower.

A station was built for the crowds that would eventually come, and was called Wembley Park in anticipation of the scheme.

As Gustave Eiffel didn’t fancy the project, a competition was held to discover a design. Fanciful ideas flew about. A spiral railway climbing the exterior of the tower. A tower that leaned - a bit like a leaning tower I guess. Amazingly, these ideas did not win the contract. That privilege went to an eight-legged 1200-foot metal tower, complete with theatres, exhibitions, and, obviously, several Turkish baths and the occasional dance hall. Finally, because this was the modern world, there would be electrical lighting.

To build it, there had to be a company, so Sir Edward Watkin made one of his own, the International Tower Construction Company.

These days, to make it funkier, we might have spelt Tower without the E. An attempt to win public funding was unsuccessful, so four of the eight legs were discarded. Anyway, four legs are better than eight.

Work began in 1892, and, nearby, boating lakes and cricket pitches were prepared. The first stage was well under way in 1894 when the public were first allowed to visit. It was very successful. By 1895, the tower had squirmed its way to a height of 154 feet. That’s about 2 trees, for those that prefer their heights measured in

DESIGNS FOR THE TOWER

trees. Or 24 fridges. It was behind schedule. Sir Edward Watkin was in poor health.

Worse was to come. The decision to go with four legs had rendered the structure unstable. The company went into liquidation, maybe because they left the E in Tower, Sir Edward Watkin died, the tower was closed to the public and, in 1907, was demolished with dynamite.

The Wembley dream did not vanish with the unfinished tower, or Towr, or ‘stump’ as I prefer to call it. Sports clubs flourished, housing developments sprung up, and, in 1924, the British Empire Exhibition brought further life to the area. There was even a huge sports stadium built, whose name I failed to research, though I think that it had ‘Wembley’ in its name. It may still be there, for all that I know, but it’s probably called Wmbly.

A

t Radfield Home Care Chingford & Loughton, we are helping people to age well by remaining connected to the things that matter most in life. Our journey started with our founder, Adam Simons, who has very personal motivations for setting up a business that supports his local community.

As lockdown struck, to help combat some personal issues in his life, Adam began volunteering. Initially as a Meals on Wheels driver, then he became a telephone befriender and over two years ago he joined the Samaritans as a listening volunteer. To this day he still continues his voluntary work.

Adam said: "Setting up this homecare business is an extension of the voluntary work I already do. My voluntary work has given me so much it’s empowering, humbling, incredibly rewarding and gives me a real sense of purpose. There is no better feeling than to help others."

Inspired by Adam’s passion, we are dedicated to

Luxury Private Villa for rent in Spain at sensible prices, with free use of our car that greets you at the airport

Lots of luggage?

No problem

Located close to wonderful beaches on the sun-drenched Costa Blanca just an hour from Alicante Airport, in the Moraira region, and about £200 per week cheaper than comparable properties.

(Even cheaper than a cottage in Cornwall)

The story so far...

We bought the villa in late 2018 after battling months of red tape. We didn’t buy it to get rich, but wanted to create something that would be truly special for us, our friends, and for local people to enjoy (I live in Buckhurst Hill), making best use of our retirement pot.

We thought of things that annoy us when going away; the first was arriving to pick up a rental car, only to be told we have to get a bus 15 minutes away, and then fill in endless forms. So we decided to make no charge for Bertie, our wonderfully reliable and fuel-efficient automatic car, and garage it close to the airport, delivered when you get off the plane.

Then we considered having to rent parasols and sunbeds at the beach, which for a family of 6 adults can cost €100 per day (parasol and sunbed each), so we provide everything to take down there. This attitude is everywhere at the villa; a real home from home with everything catered for.

Families are welcome, but as the pool is not fenced and the villa has an exterior staircase, sadly, we can only offer the villa to those with children of at least secondary school age (11+).

For a brochure with prices, please email: Marilyn.MaD@outlook.com

Our villa has 3 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a 10 metre pool Rates start from £120 per night, depending on season Check out our 360 Virtual Tour to get a real flavour of what it’s like, visit
