Merry Fiddlers pub: A memory of Dagenham

Merry Fiddlers Pub

A Memory of Dagenham.

In the early 50's my aunt lived in the cottages next to The Merry Fiddlers pub. I can remember standing on a chair and looking out a back window to see wrestling contests. As to the Merry Fiddlers ....when I was a teenager in the 60's I used to go with other mod friends to dance to all the latest music. I can remember a local Group called 'Shaun Buckley and the Breadcrumbs'.....(the name always made me laugh)). Lots of happy memories.

My aunt and uncle lived in the right hand cottage next to the Merry Fidlers pub. Often visited in 50s and 60s as a child with my nan. Their names were Rose and George Furlong and they had 4 sons. Always remember the outside loo with newspaper squares !!!!

I had a shop in Becontree Ave about 1972-74 opposite the toilets near the Pie and Mash shop selling wool and kids cloths called(Syds Outfitters). I am sure Mrs. Furlong was a customer and one of her sons rented a garage lock up from me behind the shop. Last time I looked it was Mens hairdressers .
