The Baker's Arms Public House, Leyton, London

A wonderful colour postcard of the suburbs of London in the early 1900s - a tram approaches The Baker's Arms Public House in Leyton, London.A district on the boundary of Leyton and Walthamstow is known as Baker's Arms after this pub (in the London Borough of Waltham Forest). The pub (which added an extra storey during the 20th century and only closed in 2010 - now a Paddy Power betting shop) stood at the junction of High Road Leyton, Hoe Street (both A112) and Lea Bridge Road (A104). The pub's name was derived from the nearby almshouses for members of London's baking trade, which were completed in 1866
