Memories of Hockley, County Secondary School

HOCKLEY COUNTY SECONDARY SCHOOL

I went to Hockley Secondary in 1965, along with my twin sister, Diane (the Jay twins).  We were separated at first, each being put into a different class form.  Diane was very upset, so we were reunited!!!

I still only live just down the road and always have fond memories of our days at this school and of course being identical twins, causing a bit of confusion for our teachers!!!

Beginnings of Greensward Academy

This is the school 3 of my children attended between September 1985 to July 2003. It was Greensward Lane School, then it changed to Greensward College then it became a City Academy.

I can remember all the shops in this picture. Think there was Hewitt's the Photographer, Horsnall Stores and next to Horsnall was INIFER POTTER who are now celebrating their 100th year this year. As regards POTTER's, the picture shown on their celebratory plastic bag shows my Dad, Ernie Jay as the errand boy with his bike, alongwith I presume Mr. & Mrs. Inifer Potter, and my dad's cousin, Arthur Nicholson.

Hockley, Broad Parade

I recognise this picture from a postcard, as the house where my family used to live is also in the picture.

I can remember the shops in those days - Eve's the hairdresser, Thomas the Butcher, Sutherlands the sweetshop/newsagent, Broughton the chemist, Green Stores/Key Markets and the Off Licence.

our wedding

My husband Reginald and I were married at St Andrews Minster Ashingdon at 2 pm on saturday 16 September 1972. The service was conducted by The Rector Rev. Norman Cotgrove. I had 7 bridesmaids in blue,green,lilic,& lemon. Our fathers D.Hayes & L Willis were witnesses .When we came out and started to pose for the photos someone noticed that there was smoke coming from the back of the minster .I dont know if it was a fire in the church or a bonfire behind the church. From the back of the church there is a view for many miles across the country side
