Those Were The Days!
A Memory of Gants Hill.
I was born in a house on the Eastern Avenue between Cantly gardens and Denham Drive in 1955. I moved to wales to go to uni in 1975. I worked as a Saturday girl in Barton’s the bakers in Gants Hill for a ridiculously low wage. Loved it. I then worked in Chelsea Girl in Oxford Street on a Saturday that paid a lot better. Gants Hill station was my second home taking me and my friends to London. I attended Newbury Park infants and junior school and then Gearies secondary modern. I left to do O and A levels at Walthamstow High School for girls. Newly made into a Comprehensive School. Valentines park was a wonderful place to be and we all loved to swim in the lido in the summer. We attended St Laurence church on Horns Road.
I have wonderful memories of Gants Hill and growing up there in the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s.

From 1950 till 1965, the best years of my life, I went back once about 10 years ago, I'll never return!
