Memories of Essex
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.
We Used to go to Epping Somedays to Shop
While we lived in Old Harlow we used to go shopping in Epping.
Disco
My memories of the Wake Arms pub are, travelling from Harold Hill every Friday night, me, my mates and girlfriends too, to the heavy metal disco they held at the Wake Arms, drinking more than I should have then driving home, but what a brilliant night, never no aggro. A great memory.
Burned Down
I worked in the pub, restaurant, whatever, after it had replaced the pub, what a crying shame that the pub had gone. Anyroad, there was a massive fire which started in the kitchens, and I had to go on site to try to watertight what was left of the roof after the fire, I actually have a load of photos of this.
Old Times Gone by
That looks a little like my dad's old car. I have happy memories of Epping. I was born there over 50 years ago in Ivy Chimneys and remember walking across the roads in town with my dad hand in hand, and after school going up in the woods playing around the old fish ponds and often going and helping my dad at work in the cemetery in Bury Lane.
