Giffords Cross Cottages
A Memory of Corringham.
The houses at the end of the shopping terrace were my home for a number of years. They were called Giffords Cross Cottages. They were decorated for the Coronation celebrations.
Attended Herd Lane Primary School and then the new school at Stanford le Hope called Hassenbrook.
I played the part of Lysander in A Midsummer Nights Dream with the Hassenbrook Players for the Coronation celebrations in the area.
Was a member of the Boys Brigade at Corringham Baptist Church in Central Avenue.
First memory goes back to 1947 when the hill was covered in snow for weeks.
