Memories of Essex
We Used to go to Epping Somedays to Shop
While we lived in Old Harlow we used to go shopping in Epping.
Disco
My memories of the Wake Arms pub are, travelling from Harold Hill every Friday night, me, my mates and girlfriends too, to the heavy metal disco they held at the Wake Arms, drinking more than I should have then driving home, but what a brilliant night, never no aggro. A great memory.
Burned Down
I worked in the pub, restaurant, whatever, after it had replaced the pub, what a crying shame that the pub had gone. Anyroad, there was a massive fire which started in the kitchens, and I had to go on site to try to watertight what was left of the roof after the fire, I actually have a load of photos of this.
Old Times Gone by
That looks a little like my dad's old car. I have happy memories of Epping. I was born there over 50 years ago in Ivy Chimneys and remember walking across the roads in town with my dad hand in hand, and after school going up in the woods playing around the old fish ponds and often going and helping my dad at work in the cemetery in Bury Lane.
My Next Door Neighbours Memories of Epping in WW1
I grew up in Epping, living next door to an old lady, Ann Young (nee Shakespeare), who lived in a bungalow her husband built on Bower Hill crica the 1920/30s. She had lived in Epping all her life. Her father, a builder, even named a house in Allnutts Road after her when she was very young (it still has the stone with her name in it today). She was a child living in Epping during the First World War. She would tell me that living in the Allnutts Road/Ivy Chimneys area of Epping, she would know when she was late for school, because she could hear the bells of church ringing. She even told me that on a clear day you could hear the fighting in France. I don't know if her point about hearing the war is true or not, but it's interesting that there was so little sound pollution that they could hear the bells all over Epping!
