1948 1967
A Memory of Chadwell Heath.
I spent those years living in West Road.
The primary School was know as Japan Road School and I suspect long gone.
My memories are of the Rest Centre on the edge of St Chads Park, the coal merchant on the corner of Alexandra Road, Pasks bike shop where you could also buy your maggots for fishing, trolley buses leaving from the depot next to the Gaumont, the opticians in the High Road (Jim Peters of marathon running fame), scrumping an orchard that was on the arterial road opposite Marks Gate, bike speedyway on Sunday evenings at Little Heath.
I will return one day to just wander the streets of my childhood.
