Growing Up In The Village. 1960 1965
A Memory of Chigwell Row.
As a young lad growing up in the village was a joy with the forest & common for a playground. We knew nearly everybody that lived there. You talk about Morgans the newsagent and Myers the Butchers; I worked for both of them, also Palmers who had the Wavey Line store. Hayes the sweet shop across from the Brewers and another two people I worked for. My brothers worked for Pete Fuller. Does anyone remember Crowns the green grocer who had a stall on the corner of Retreat Way? I left the village on the 9th of April 1965 to join the army where I spent 22 years of my life, always coming home on leave. My parents are still in Lambourne Crescent. So many friends have gone & I have lost contact with. It would be nice to meet up with them again.
