I was only in the park for about a year then we moved to Bennington ave so my actual memories are quite scant but mum used to tell me stories of life in the park and it sounded wonderful . I was actually born in hut17 in 1947 but my brother Ray was born in upney hospital but sadly he is no longer with us so I am unable to ask him anything
I did get in touch with Barking and Dagenham library and they had a great deal of pictures an memorabilia on the actual site .
Kind regard marian
