Essex memories
Ongar High Street
My mother had a hairdressing shop on the high street and one corner of the shop had a few books that we used as a small library. I was in boarding school, but on vacations and weekends I'd help with loaning out the books. We lived in North Weald at the time and I'd catch the bus at Tylers Green to make the 15 minute ride into Ongar. Some times I'd ride my bicycle from North Weald, through Ongar towards Brentwood to go swimming. I also remember that there was a friend of a friend who lived on Ongar High Street and had a small swimming pool that I went to once.
Small Church in Ongar
Hey there, can anyone help me please. My mum is trying to find a small church in Ongar which comes off the Ongar Road, it's on the right hand side and it has a gravel lane, the church is at the end of the gravel lane with a field on the left hand side. I would be very grateful if anyone can help to offer me any information with regard to this. Many thanks. Sarah
Our Old Pub
My family used to run this pub. First, a Jane Tanner in the 19th century and then my great grandfather, Charlie Green in the 1920s. He also ran The Kings Head in Ongar for many years, leaving in the 1940s.
Secondary School
I went to Ongar Secondary School in th 1950s. Does anyone have any photos of the school as I know it is no longer there?
Ongar Secondary School
Does anyone remember Ongar Secondary School? My maiden name was Marner, I had a brother Fred and a sister Stella, we lived at Cripsey Road, Shelley. I married a Brian Chaston who lived in Rodney Road. We often wonder who is still alive from our school days. We were invited to a school reunion a few years ago but everyone there was younger than us. The school is no longer there. I think it's a sports centre now. My parents Fred and Irene Marner moved to Marconi Bungalows about 1962. Dad worked at the radio station. My father-in-law Len was station master at Ongar rail station. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers us.
Norton Heath Equestrian Centre
My memories are of my year training at the equestrian centre when it was run by Victor Carter as a riding school and renowned BHS exam school. I trained for my BHSAI there, under Mr Carter, along with head instructor Pamela Green/Swain and John Mithcell - who's family ran/run the local RDA from their home. I was joined by Claire, Melanie De La Haye, Carol and Gill Smith during my time there. It was hard work but enjoyable. I returned to Norton Heath some 27 years later and was amazed at the transformation it had taken from being a riding school to a busy equestrian centre running shows of all descriptions - the school side had long since gone - shame really as I loved it there at the time.
Evacuation to Essex
My mother and some of her family were sent/lived in Fyfield Ongar for a short time during the Second World War. They moved there from West Ham in London. Her only memory of where she lived is that it was a large house with swords arranged high up on the walls. Her only other memory is of a pub with the word 'Black' in it - we've located that! Any info will be gratefully recieved.
