A Memory of Woodford Bridge.
I was born in Gaynes Hill Road in 1941. Was the shop you are writing about John Bankils (or similar spelling) oposite Gaynes Hill Road. I can remember going to the shop for my Dad many times, I can almost remember the men that worked there, always in brown coats. One I remember had lots of curly hair, I think he lived in one of the roads off of Gaynes Hill. The shop always smelt of parafin. We last lived in Woodford Bridge in 1982

I lived in R. Cheeke & Co., the estate agents you see in the picture from 1934 until I married in 1955 when I moved to No.13, Gaynes Hill Road. I then moved on to live in Harlow.
I have many, many happy memories of life in "The Bridge"
