Opening of The 'new' Woolstore
Now living in Australia but have also lived in NZL and the Pacific Islands, Fiji Tonga etc. Used to be a member of the Horndon Scouts and played in the band. We were asked to lead a march to mark the opening of the Woolstore. My grandfather, now long dead, was a regular there meeting his friends for a 'cuppa'. It was from memory opened as a centre for social gatherings such as this.
Also fond memories of the Bell where I used to work for many years till my family emigrated to NZL in 1973, and I was only 17 when we left England, Happy Days.
Chris.
Love to hear from anyone who maybe can remember me, I used to know the Verekers who still run the Bell, Simon Bonson who used to live nearby and was connected with the pub, many more friends but the years have lost touch.

The Verekers still run the Bell - or at least they did a couple of years ago when I wrote a story about the hot cross buns that have been attached to the ceiling there every year for 100 years. Friendly family, great place to eat.
