Born In Gt Waltham 1953
My father Eric Grubb was one of three sons and two daughters of George Grubb. (who lived until he was 100 years old). We lived in Six Bells Cottages until we were rehoused in Cherry Garden Road. My mum Gertrude worked in Snows the butchers, pictured above, making sausages! I remember Mr Butcher the policeman - Mr Moore the poacher was a family friend! I attended the village school and Broomfield Secondary. My father died aged 43 in 1966 and my mother remarried Eric Rickman whose family lived in Barrack Road. My husband and I married in Gt Waltham in 1973 - the Rev. Duke was still there.

RE: RE: Born In Gt Waltham 1953
Hello Sally-Ann, I knew your father and his brothers Gordon and Peter, also Mr Rickman. All were older than me, but I remember them as we all went to Great Waltham School when Mr Hyde was Headmaster. The Grubb Family lived in Barrack Lane. I think you will find the vicar's name was Jukes, not Duke? Ray Dixon in Australia
