The Bruntons Of Dunton

A Memory of Dunton Wayletts.

I was born in 1933 at Oak Cottage, Victory Avenue, Dunton.
Dad worked as a cook in a nearby "Work house", this was during the great depression and times were hard. I have vague memories of the school there though on a rare visit back I went there and everything had been replaced by factories or so it seemed.
At the age of 5 we moved to Pitsea (around the corner) where we remained till the end of the war, then on to Southend. After school and a job I went into the Royal Navy
in 1948-60. Got married and with 2 daughters 14 years later in 1974 came to Australia. Still miss England, Essex, Southend, Pitsea and yes Dunton.
