Three Travellers

A Memory of Dagenham.

This photo was taken from in front of the Civic Centre in Dagenham.

On the left of the photo is the Three Travellers pub, it is still there now in 2012.

On the opposite side of the road is the Ship and Anchor pub, I think that is what it it is called.

The area was always known as the Fiddlers, after the Fiddlers Arms pub which was on the corner to the left of the Three Travellers pub.

I used to go to school at Robert Clack Tech opposite the Civic Centre from 1964-1969.

Now the common is now a built-up area of flats and houses.

I lived in this area from 1952-1976 and attended Triptons Secondary School between 1963-1968.
A friend of mine, Keith Cresswell, attended Robert Clack School in that time so he was in the year above you, he also had a younger brother, Brian. so you may have known them.
The Merry Fiddlers was demolished and is now a supermarket, The Ship is closed but the Three Travellers pub is still there.
I remember that during the big freeze between December 1962 to February 1963 the whole of Nanny Goat common was covered in huge mounds of snow and ice all taken off the local roads.
