Heathway Shopping Centre 1948
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

We moved to Maxey Road, Dagenham from the Beacontree Estate in about 1946 and I was resident until 1961 when I got married and moved to East Ham.

My education started off at South Wood Lane primary school where I still retain vivid memories of Mr. Bond, the Headmaster, Miss Childs, Mr. Bateman and my first love, at age 9, Miss Jones. There must have been many more but these are the only ones that stay with me. I can also remember some of my contemporaries, namely Jimmy Greaves of footballing fame, Clive Gordon, Peter Benham, David Soul and a few more.

RE: RE: Dagenham

I went to South Wood Lane School, in the late 1940s. I remember Mr Bond quite well, also Mr Bateman who I later met at a Social Club in Chadwell Heath, he was a good sort. I also remember Miss Jones a very pretty Welsh lady, do you remember Mr Gordon or Miss Rushbridge?
