Fond Memories
In the late 1950s my pocket money earner was a paper round in Ockendon. On Saturday mornings all the paper boys would take their collected money (safe in those days) and cash in at Mrs Hall's Cafe in the village. Johnny Kiss was a sort of manager with Alan Hall and Derek Hall. Our meagre wages would then all be spent on fizzy drinks and sweets. It was worth the clout round the ear from Dad. In those days you could walk across the fields (GKN's wasn't there then) or you could go through the prefabs and over the kissing gate (the zig zag bridge wasn't there either. Oh happy days.
