Indeed it did Neil! Often set as the destination for the number 38 bus which I used to catch from the Angel to Bakers Arms to visit my Nan who lived at 36 William Street which you will find is a side turning just down the road from the pub. The pub was sited on the corner of Wathamstow High Street (Hoe Street) and Lea Bridge Road and was the grimmest pub I've ever been in!!
My other grandmother, known as Grandma to distinguish, lived in a road which runs parallel to and south of Walthamstow High Street/ Hoe Street but I cannot remember its name. So my route was Watford Junction to Dalston Junction on a Broad Street train and catch the 38 outside or train to Euston and catch trolley bus or 30 to the Angel and then change onto 38 for the Bakers Arms.
Once they built and opened the Victoria line my route changed to using the tube from Euston direct to Walthamstow Hoe Street and then walk between the two houses!
