Growing Up In Lee Chapel South
A Memory of Basildon.
We moved from Dagenham to a newly built council house in Lee Walk in 1961 and I really enjoyed my time at the Lee Chapel South Junior school. I can still remember some of the wonderful school assemblies that took place, the tuck shop, gymnastics in the school hall and the school trips to Swanage and Barnstable. During the holidays, my mum and I would often walk to One Tree Hill along Staneway when it was still countryside. I'd spend hours with friends at the parks near Ardleigh and Paprills or up at the big mound in Gaynesford. Then once the cinema opened in the town, I'd be there as often as I could. I am still in touch with friends that I met at Barstable School, some of whom still live in the area. Basildon has expanded rapidly and seeing these old images brings back many memories for me - mostly happy ones. It would be great to see more photos of Lee Chapel South.
