My Memories of The Top End of Rayleigh High Street

Town Centre 1957
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I lived on the Lower Road between Hockley and Hullbridge between 1950 and 1967. Rayleigh was our local town. Before Woolworths was built, there was a garage on the site. I think it was called the Waterloo garage. My father bought a wartime ex-army Commer utility vehicle from them (in the very early 1950s). He used this for his mobile greengrocery round around Rayleigh. There was two way traffic in the High Street in those days! I was a Wolf Cub member of the Second Rayleigh Holy Trinity Pack in the Parish Church in the background at the top of the hill.
