Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

"""Itchycoo Park"" is the nickname of Little Ilford Park in London. An ""Itchycoo"" is slang for a flower found in the park called a ""Stinging Nettle,"" which can burn the skin if touched. Said Lane: ""It's a place we used to go to in Ilford years ago. Some bloke we know suggested it to us because it's full of nettles and you keep scratching."""

"Trevor Horn is very, very good. Rather like that Musicman 5 string as well."

James Honeyman Scott is brilliant on that track RIP

Itchy Park is by Aldgate Itchycoo Park is little ilford Lane . Or is it the other way round?

The Pretenders - Kid

I've always thought it was Valentines park? Baldrick was childhood friends with Steve Marriott

"I thought Itchycoo park was in Bethnal Green, heading up to Aldgate?"

DM and Darlo Debs A bit of useless information for you ( and other fans of Itchycoo Park) Many people think that it was written as a homage to Valentines Park. It wasn't. Locally Little Ilford Park was known as Itchycoo Park. No ducks though. Also for me the site of one the most horrific football injuries I ever witnessed. Our goalkeeper having climbed over the railings to retrieve the ball from the River Roding slipped on the return and impaled himself on the said railings.

Darlow Debs Agree about Itchycoo Park. It is a great song

Mike. I was at Hammersmith for a night on the tour. Saw them a couple of times after but they never teached the heights of that 83 tour. Only my opinion.

"yes 1BB, the Alchemy one. watched an interview recently with Knopfler on hard talk where he was asked if he'd ever tour again, seeing as Illsley and the others were keen. his answer, NO :.)"

"TM. The version on Alchemy? If so, outstanding choice. Led Zeppelin. Achilies last stand."
