LITTLE WALTHAM
I lived three miles from Little Waltham from 1956 till I moved out about 1965. I lived in a cottage near Domsey Lane and we had no buses, only to the village, so when we went out to Chelmsford we had to catch the last bus to the village and then we had a three mile walk in the dark to get home and it was scary as there were no lights. When I moved out, my mother moved down to the village to live. My memories of the village are Amos the bakers, he used to deliver lovely bread and cakes to us. The surgery with Dr Bassett,and the little wooden shop run by the sisters. I think they were called the Phylls.They used to sell sweets and general stores. Also the butchers at the top of the street. There was also a man who had a huge Great Dane, near us. I was scared of it. I loved the footpath that went to the church where horses were allowed to roam. I used to be scared to walk up there past them. I also remember the weir where us kids used to play, of course it was dangerous. My mum lived in one of the cottages next to the chapel. Does anyone have any memories? Vic
