  Year: 1977 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.

Year: 1950 Kingsmead School
A memory of Roydon, Essex

I was at Kingsmead boarding school in the early 50s and we used to walk to this church (crocodile style) on Sundays.  After church (we were usually taken out before communion), we would walk back to school where the smell of our Sunday dinner filled the air.  I can still smell it.  The best meal of the week.  Kingsmead was later turned into offices (I think in the late 60s) but don't know what it is now.

We used to sit and have a rest for five mins on the bench behind the gates when visiting my Step Nan.

This is the church where most of my mum's stepsisters and brothers got married, as well as my nan after my grandad died.
