Itchycoo Park is anywhere and everywhere beautiful. Perhaps the song was written about a specific place, but it was obviously left open enough that it is about any place the listener wants it to be about.
Re. location of Itchycoo Park, it is not in Ilford but is in Little Ilford, and it's called Little Ilford Park. The district of Manor Park and Little Ilford are kind of overlapping, boundaries not clear to me, and the actual Manor Park is some where else, it isn't Little Ilford Park. Look on Google Maps if you want to see.

You wouldn't think so by this, but Steve's tendency to be inspired by his mother who in turn was inspired by Music Hall and Folk music, finally did it for the band. They just couldn't take the 'rooty tooty too' lyrics and Cockney 'Gertcha' style rendition of 'Lazy Sunday'. But that aside, they were a great band.
@dinglechip I dont remember Little Ilford Park. It has been 50 years since I left England. I remember playing in Wanstead Park, Valentines Park and Manor Park. I lived on Wanstead Park Road as a child. Maybe Little Ilford Park was built after I emigrated to Canada
Great Music, Great Images, Great Workmanship,Great Arrangement...and you "MisterFredC", have a Great talent. Pirsue it to... what else, Greatness of course! Live Long & Prosper...
Totally catchy, yeah, and historically significant in that it introduced the phase-shifter to pop music as certainly as the Status Quo introduced the wah-wah to Top 40 popularity about the same time.
