I lived at the top of Valence Avenue, which was 1.1/4 miles long. I was nearly into Chadwell Heath, but my address was Dagenham (and proud of it!) . I used to go to Lymington Road School and we went to Valence Swimming Baths for lessons, even though it was freezing cold and had to jump in! We went back recently and what a shock it was! The Advance Laundry has gone! (I lived next door to it.) The Limington School has gone! They were good old days! I got married at St Chadd's, Chadwell Heath in 1953. If anyone remembers me my name was Harris before I married.

A memory of Dagenham in Essex shared on Wednesday, 3rd November 2010.
