Earlier this year when the news hit that God's Own Junkyard was being forced to leave it's home in Walthamstow after nearly forty years, the response from local residents was one of profound disappointment. "How could this happen?"; "...a sad loss for Walthamstow!"; and cries of "NO!!" were just some of the responses posted by locals on Twitter. So today, when the following tweet from Chris Bracey was posted, Walthamstow was lit up like neon!
We've found new premises!!! Just a few minutes’ walk from the old junkyard, just off Shernall Street, near Walthamstow Village.

This was followed shortly after with...
We're so pleased that we're staying in Walthamstow!

The full details of the new home for this Walthamstow institution are yet to be announced, but the only news that matters is that God's Own Junkyard are staying in the Stow. Here are just a few responses from the local community...
