The Late 1950s

I remember the baker's van coming down to Church Street in the summer, we could choose a cake, the baker would open the back of the little van and pull out the drawers, out would come a thousand wasps.  No one ran for cover and the cakes were lovely.  I remember that I had to wear an apron over my dress everyday to keep my dress clean.

RE: RE: The Late 1950s

St Mary's (new) Church in Church Street, Burham was demolished in 1981. Does anyone have any recollections of the church and its grounds? It would help me to determine whether burials were made here or still at the old church site at the turn of the 20th Century. Many thanks.
