What is it and where is it?
Itchycoo Park :
- a name East End kids used to give to any local park (Manor
Park) where vagrants congregated. ("When I was a kid in the East
End in the '60s" - Paul Williams)
- the name comes about because the park was notorious for the
stinging nettles that tended to attract
kids playing and courting couples and make them itch. ("I was
born and bred in Manor Park and lived there between 1953 and 1967.
I met Steve Marriott on a number of occasions as a youngster. Manor
Park was not known as Itchycoo Park; rather it was what us local
kids, including Steve, nicknamed Little Ilford Park due to the
horrendous amount of stinging nettles
there." - Anthony Wragg)
