Happy Days
A Memory of Harold Hill.
My family moved from Tottenham in 1949. There was only 5 children and Mum and Dad at the time. Nice new terraced house in Faringdon Ave - Gooshayes end. I was born in that house in 1954. My younger sisters (twins) were born in Oldchurch Hospital in 1961. I attended Mead Infant/Mead Junior schools. Helped across the road by Mrs Watts the lollipop lady. Then on to Harrowfield Girls School. Headmistress Miss Macgill. Her only secretary was Mrs. Gell. There was a Miss Cooper whose mere presence struck us girls with fear! It was a great place to live then. My older brother and I would go and find newts in the pond in Central Park until the original swimming pool was built. Sadly Dad died in 1973 - in that house, Mum in 2012, again in that same house. My older sister still lives there. We were the Wallingtons. And at this time of writing no other family has occupied 216 except us!
Mrs. Ruth Oakley (Wallington)
