The Village Bakery Shop: A memory of St Osyth

The Village Bakery Shop

A Memory of St Osyth.

I was born in the village in 1965 and lived in St. Osyth Bakery, Spring Road for 20 years with my family. I can remember going to Bretts hardware and sweet shop with my 5p to get some sweets. I can remember Mr and Mrs Ayers who ran the vegetable and toy shop in Spring Road. We used to take part in the village carnivals every year with the WI. We were christened and my sister was married in the village church. I used to love singing around the big Christmas tree in the churchyard at Christmas time. I have now moved to North Wales but I will always remember St. Osyth as home.

My nan and grandad owned Bretts stores and my sister and i lived with them for a while, we were born on Clacton Road. I miss the village life as i loved my childhood in the village no worries or cares and it was a true village then . I remember lighting the candles on the Christmas tree in 1969 and setting fire to the tree, I was only 4 yrs old !! It was quiet honestly the best time of my life
