Merchant Navy Days
What a wonderful memory, going from Tilbury to Gravesend when I was on P&O 'Iberia' as a BRS, which was in the 1960s.
Embarrassing Memory
I remember walking through the square one day getting mum some shopping and I had a kilt on (God knows why) and it fell down to my feet! I have never pulled my skirt up so fast! I just hope everyone who saw it has a bad memory like me now ...
Beer
For some reason I remember walking by there when I was a kid and thinking how cool everyone looked sitting there drinking their beer....and I can still smell the beer as you walked past. I am 55 yrs old now and I still have that memory...
The Anchor Pub
I can remember taking the Lemonade bottles back to the little off licence part and getting the money back. I was probably about 9.
Councillor John Feenen 1879-1956
My auntie is the last remaining daughter of John Feenan, if any-one has any memories of John I would love to hear, maybe I could print them and show my auntie, at the age of 81 years now, and the Centenary this year would be great to see...
The Daisy Field
We moved to Stephenson Avenue in 1968. We were The Jackson family. We spent most of our days on the Daisy Field and the park, there was the tennis courts, the bowling green and as well as football pitches we had the cricket ground as well.
Feenan Highway
My father James (Jim) Staples was born in 1925 and grew up on Feenan Highway Tilbury. (He died in 1998.)
He fought in the Second World War as a Royal Marine.
He emigrated to NZ in 1952. His siblings were Fred, Elsie, Ivy and Stan. Fred, Elsie and Stan are now deceased but Ivy is living in New Zealand.
I am very interested in this area of England and would love to hear from anyone who might remember my father or his family.
Dwellings And Hospital , Tilbury RRverside
My nan and grandad used to live in the dwellings near the hospital. Their names were George and Florence ARCHER. Has anyone got any photos of the dwellings or hospital. We cannot find any. My brothers still live in Tilbury.
