Thames Barge
I remember Stambridge Mill very well. My Father, Frank Sutton, used to moor his barge, called The Anglia, here. He used to load his barge with Corn and Wheat. I was around 7 or 8 at the time and we used to travel with him to deliver the corn.
I remember a sweet shop being there and we used to buy candy bars, and if the bar had a stripe through it we got a free one.
We lived in Sutton Court Drive, Rochford. My name then was Rita Sutton.
