Down The Lane
A Memory of Dagenham.
Not that I was around in the 1890's, but that is when building of 55 Cottages was started in CHEQUERS LANE.
Built for workers at SAMUEL WILLIAMS, who were based at DAGENHAM DOCK, which is where my father, BERNARD MILLER, my Aunt, Florence (Flossy), her husband Earl Cecil Barringer and my grandfather John Miller, all worked.
I am fortunate enought to still have Floss to talk to about 'The Lane' and at 94, she is amazing, she recalls so much. Between us we have remembered the names of nearly ALL of the families that lived in the cottages.
My daughter, Sarah, whilst reserching her family tree, has received an e-mail from Alan St Pierre, one of the people who lived there.
If anyone out there knows anything about CHEQUERS LANE, please contact me on MILLERIAIN@sky.com.
