The Pond
This is an approximate date, my brother was placed in a boarding school when he was very young. We would travel there at weekends. The pond was very near the big white building he was staying in.
1977-1996
Hi, I am Adam. I moved to Nazeing in 1977, aged 3 years old, with my mum and dad. We moved down from Harlow, to be nearer my grandparents. I went to Nazeing Primary School and so did my younger sister Joanne, born 1979. She also went to Nazeing Primary School. Then I went to Cardinal Bourne in Broxbourne 3 years later. Joanne went to Mark Hall in Harlow. I spent a lot of time around the rivers and lakes and took up fishing. After leaveing school I worked as a grade 3 semi-skilled glass maker at Nazeing Glass Works from 1991 until 1999, when I was made redundant.
After my parents divorced I moved to Stevenage with my mum. If i could move back to Nazeing I would, it is a very pleasent area and I loved being around the rivers and lakes. I was also a member of a fishing club in Nursery Road for 6 years.
Memories of Essex
Fedsden
Fedsden a large white house just outlying the nearby hamlet of Roydon.
Was it to become the nursing Hospital of the 1940's or a School in the 1950's?
Is this the same place that Ralph Fowler was born?
Any idea as to the current title and address?
A long lost family member was once 'in service'at Fedsden.
Where my Mother Was Brought up
Many a time my family went up this road from Harlow Mill to see my stepgran and my aunts and uncles who lived in Roydon.
Where my Mum Was Brought up
When I was young I walked up this road many times with my sister and mum to see my Stepgran and my Aunts and Uncles. My Dad was born in Linlithgo Lanackshire Scotland .So no photos of where he was born
Where my Mum Was Brought up
We used to walk up here from the station to visit my Stepnan.
Where my Mum Was Brought up
My grandfather was the lock-keeper at Roydon Lock after he came out of the army after the First World War. He had to have an outside job as he was shot in the neck and also mustard-gassed.
