Market Day
I remember Rochford Market Square for the market days held there when I was a child, if my memory serves me correctly it was held every Thursday. I used to love going to see the animals in their pens, calves and pigs mainly, the bigger beasts were auctioned in the afternoons. There was a place for smaller animals in the stables in Back Lane, which I used to love too.
Opposite the market square was a tearoom called Delph House, and they sold the best doughnuts I've ever tasted, mainly because my mother and I would share one of these during the school holidays while my Dad was at work, he didn't approve of his money being wasted on 'junk food'...

RE: RE: Market Day
Does anyone know Stan Shadbolt, I would like to send my regards and hope he and his family are well, I knew him when I was 13 years old. I got married, he got married, but I often wonder how he is. I now live in Malta, have been here 25 years and my daughter Joanne has a thriving watersports company here called Fo-Jos. We are on facebook under the name of Patricia Saliba, email: patsaliba@onvol.net. I have found many friends on here from when we were very young in various places, even the Isle of Wight.
