York Parade

A Memory of Dagenham.

My wife Evette, was born in York Parade, Dagenham? or Ilford, in 1938 and her dad worked at the Ford plant. Her family moved north to Wallasey when she was only 7 so she only has vague memories of the area. Over the last few years we have tried in vain to find the area where she was born, even to the point of visiting Dagenham on two occasions. Her mother and father, Vesta and Jimmy Evans, went to The Fiddlers pub. She seems to remember that York Parade was a row of shops and the fruit and veg shop had a little boy called Bruce Manhood. Does any of this ring a bell with you - if so please post your reply. Thank you very much.----Ian and Yvette.
