Growing Up In Cockethurst Ave

I remember going down Snakes Lane to the airport as children and playing in the shelter by the bridge. Later in my early twenties when my husband was working at the airport and we had a frogeye sprite which he raced we would go on to the apron to practice hands brake turns! I lived in Cockethurst Ave which later became Bridgewater Drive. I remember my mother telling us that they used to stand at the back door and cheer and count the planes in when they came back from sorties.

I remember in the late 50s and early 60s playing in Priory Park and following the brook from Priory Park all the way to Westcliff, including going under the roads, and playing along the brook and swinging across on ropes, constantly falling into the water, lol, good days!!!!
