Happy Days

I lived in South Ockendon from 1961-1967. Our home was a cold, damp prefab in Tamarisk Rd. I went to Culverhouse Secondary and had a Sat/Sun job in the Esso garage which can just be seen in one of the photo's for sale on this site. Despite living in basic accomadation and attending a miserable school, I look back on my years in Ockendon with great affection. I had two fine friends (Jim Redpath and Pete Sutton) and loved the quiet rural atmosphere of the village after being born in London. I have not been back since 1967, but I see from the internet that there has been gret change. I am pleased to see the 'Royal Oak' is still there, and Ockendon Railway Station looks just as I remembered. This is a great site for memories, so if anyone remembers me or my two good friends, please add whatever recollections you may have.
