Upminster Bridge

A Memory of Upminster.

I was brought up in Upminster Bridge,went to Branfil from infants to 1970 when I went to Gaynes.

My Grandad owned the Windmill Library Newsagents at Upminster Bridge. Mr Cushion owned the Toy shop on the corner by the Bridge, next to Mares the Motor Cycle shop,

There used to be a character called Mr Bott that kids took mickey out of who lived in Bridge Avenue.

We used to play down the River Ingerbourne and cross the river at the pipes.
