Mills Grocers
A Memory of Dartford.
Does any one remember me? John from Norman Mills the grocers I work there for 50 years It was one of the very last real grocers in the town. It was the first shop to sell frozen foods, and the first Health food store in the area. Well known for their (taste and try before you buy).
There was a wonderful window display at Christmas, and people came from miles around for their ham.
John was well know for his April Fool Jokes.

My wife and I visited you shop very often when we used to have a chat. I wish a shop like that could come back but no chance. I am now known as Alf Ward which is my biological birth name but that is a long story.
Cheers
Alf
Do you still live in Princes Road near the traffic lights. I have a feeling that my wife Rosemary went to school with yours.Do you remember poor old Denis Webber,I am still in touch with his family.Denis fell when he was helping to clean a gutter on a church building, he fell 6 feet onto his head and died at once leaving 2 young children,he was a policeman.
Not so many of us left now.All the best

Hi John Rank. If you ever pick this up give my regards to Andrea. I live on The Chilterns. 3 grown kids. Sorry to hear she's not well. We re getting older sadly. Tell her there's a West Hill School page on fb.
Many thanks

I was in the same class as your son, Stephen. I'd love to know what he's up to now.

This is Steve R. I'm back in Dartford at the moment visiting my folks and yes, I remember the regular walks home from DGS along Dartford Road. I now live near Bristol working as a technical translator but come back here every few weeks. Prefer not to put personal contact details on an online forum like this but you can message me on my YouTube music channel (if you fancy a laugh and wish to marvel at how I look a few weeks shy of 50) I will get back to you, Search on Google or on YouTube for "Slaphead Steve". Hope to hear from you. Steve
Still living at the same address if you are ever in Dartford.
Regards John

He might remember yours. Here's hoping. I'll keep you posted. Bye from Adelaide, Sth Australia. Barb
You would not recognise Dartford now ,all the shops in Lowfield St are closed, there was going to be new shops and houses but they all fell through after 10 years of planning.
I have family living in Melbourne so am often in touch with them.
Special event next month we will have been married 60 years
All the best from Dartford.
