Our Bow: An Interesting Local Website

Residents might be interested in the "Our Bow" website which carries news stories from around the Bow area including Victoria Park and the Roman Road market. There's info on local groups for older men ("The Geezers"), older women ("Bow Belles") and youngsters ("the U13s"). The history section is also well worth a look.
