Born In 1946 In St. Mary's Road

A Memory of Barking.

I went to Eastbury boys school, lived then in Blake Avenue, had vert fond memories of Barking town centre, also played in Eastbury House. I remember the pie mash shop and the coffee bar next to the picture house called the Electric or known as the bug hole.

Hi, I was born in Barking in 1947. My Mum and her family ( The Ford Family) lived at 220 Blake Avenue. I went to Eastbury Boys School and left school in 1962. Do you remember the headmaster at Eastbury Mr Kenneth Bullen. Also do you remember the thrashings that were sometimes dished out on the stage in the assembly hall on a Friday afternoon? I do.
