My Dad The Greengrocer

A Memory of Corringham.

My mum & dad, Pam & Stan Waterfall had the greengrocers shop between 1964 to, I think about 1971. We lived above the shop in a small 2 bedroom place; my sister Sue & I shared a bedroom. There was a hardware store next door. The man in there taught me how to cross my eyes lol! There was a sweet shop on the corner, a hairdressers the other end. We walked to Corringham School down an alleyway which went past the playing fields, a cemetry, across a road to Herd Lane - all the kids walked. We moved to Lampits Hill then moved to New Zealand in 1973. I had the chance to visit in 2006 & the place hadn`t changed a bit. We walked from the shops to school & had a great look around.
