Essex memories
Where I Live
This is where I now live,backing onto the Rec,all the toys for the childen have now gone but new ones been put up over by the old tenns courts which is now an carpark.
I have lived at Hall Avenue since 1989
Where I Lived
This is where I lived between 1966-1984,above the Read Brothers newsagent in Hall Road,there is only two shops there now,one is still the newsagent and the other is closed at the moment,the rest of the six shops are now flats for the disabled.
Read Brothers
My mother and father worked for Mr Read between 1966 and 1987, most of the time around the Hall Road shop but later in the mid to late 1980's also up in the High Street shop, which has been pulled down and an new shop built.
Mr Read died in the late 1990's and since then the shops have been sold - the High Street is not the same now.
The Old School
This School was in Love Lane but has now been pulled down and houses have been built on the site, this has only been done in the last 4 years or so.
My brother Andy Brown went to this school before going up to the bigger one, the school then became part of the Thurrock Tec in the 1980's.
Dacre Avenue
My friend Dionne Page lived here, Number 10 if I remember right, well the house on the corner......had just left school, Aveley Comp, as it was then called. Dionne's dad use to call us "THE BLACK FOOT TRIBE". That summer we used to hang out at Johnny Cobbs stables, the best summer ever. Many memories. Dee where are you now. Would love to hear from you.
Aveley an Age Away.
I lived in Aveley Villiage from when I was born in 1957 until we moved to the Kennington Estate about 1971. We had a funny house in Church View which seemed to be back to front compared to some of my friends houses. Our end of Church View was a Cul de Sac with a circular turning area in the road where it ended. Hours were spent by the children in our road playing in the street, skipping, hopscotch, rounders or riding our bikes up and down and around the 'banjo' shaped end of our road. From the upstairs front bedroom, which was my parents room, you could look out and see the recreation ground beyond the houses opposite us. Every year a fair would arrive (twice I think) and cause great excitement, we loved it and would disappear over there as often as our parents would allow. I remember the old High Street very well, I should do - I ran enough errands! Clarks Butchers, the Greengrocers, Reads newsagent,... Read more
