Thanks to John Blake at Barking History Society
It's great to see that The Song of Barking - written in 1730 has lyrics that seem relevant to life in the area today: "With people in variety we have a good society..." and towards the end "our friendship and affinity surpasses consanguinity...Let's stand by one another."
Keep your eyes and ears posted for a re-write coming to you from Thames Ward very soon!
