Mixed Memories

My family lived in and around South Ockendon for many years. I was born in 1965 in Romford. I went to Shaw County Primary School from aged 4, then to Lennards for years 1 and 2 finally at Culverhouse until I left school in the eighties. I have some really good memories of Ockendon, sad too as my Dad passed away while we lived there - which changed the course of my life. I can remember so vividly being at Shaw and how much I hated Maths and still do! I love the photo's on this website, I have never seen them before. I have passed through a few times with my husband and now my two children and it brings back some amazing memories. I remember walking to school across the railway bridge, picking up a copy of Jackie magazine on the way. Some great memories of the Royal Oak pub!!! South Ockendon memories have travelled with me to all the places in the world I have visited, I wouldn't have it any other way.
