Essex memories
Ongar High Street
My mother had a hairdressing shop on the high street and one corner of the shop had a few books that we used as a small library. I was in boarding school, but on vacations and weekends I'd help with loaning out the books. We lived in North Weald at the time and I'd catch the bus at Tylers Green to make the 15 minute ride into Ongar. Some times I'd ride my bicycle from North Weald, through Ongar towards Brentwood to go swimming. I also remember that there was a friend of a friend who lived on Ongar High Street and had a small swimming pool that I went to once.
Small Church in Ongar
Hey there, can anyone help me please. My mum is trying to find a small church in Ongar which comes off the Ongar Road, it's on the right hand side and it has a gravel lane, the church is at the end of the gravel lane with a field on the left hand side. I would be very grateful if anyone can help to offer me any information with regard to this. Many thanks. Sarah
Our Old Pub
My family used to run this pub. First, a Jane Tanner in the 19th century and then my great grandfather, Charlie Green in the 1920s. He also ran The Kings Head in Ongar for many years, leaving in the 1940s.
Secondary School
I went to Ongar Secondary School in th 1950s. Does anyone have any photos of the school as I know it is no longer there?
Ongar Secondary School
Does anyone remember Ongar Secondary School? My maiden name was Marner, I had a brother Fred and a sister Stella, we lived at Cripsey Road, Shelley. I married a Brian Chaston who lived in Rodney Road. We often wonder who is still alive from our school days. We were invited to a school reunion a few years ago but everyone there was younger than us. The school is no longer there. I think it's a sports centre now. My parents Fred and Irene Marner moved to Marconi Bungalows about 1962. Dad worked at the radio station. My father-in-law Len was station master at Ongar rail station. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers us.
Racing at Stapleford Tawney
I was born in Chingford prior to the Second World War. In the early 1950s I became an avid cyclist and participated in several massed start cycle races on Stapleford Tawney aerodrome. If I remember right there was a downhill stretch on the circuit unkind to flesh and machine being mostly gravel. I wonder if anyone else remembers. About that time I belonged to the Unity CC in Highgate. Also at that time a fast run from Chingford to Bishops Stortford and back along the Epping road several evenings a week proved good training for time trialers.
My Boyhood Years
My Mum and Dad lived quite close to Common Stocks, and as a boy along with mates of mine namely Keith Mills and Len Shuttleworth we would often clown around and pretend we were prisoners that had there legs locked as we were young enough to place our feet through the round holes in the Stocks. The history of the Common Stocks goes back along way and everytime I am visiting there from my home here in Arizona, USA I think back to the days gone by, and when I close my eyes I can still remember those days back in the 1940s as if it were yesterday. Happy days back then too when everyone knew there neighbors and had no fears and everyone would greet you with a Hello, and men would touch there hat and say Good Morning and how are you. Those were the days and I wish that it could be like that again.
