Those Were The Days

A Memory of Harold Hill.

I lived in Harold hill, from 1956 till 1970. We lived in Chudleigh Rd - Mum, Dad, and my sister Susan. I attended Dycourts, then went to Quarles - what memories of Miss Knapton and her dog, Pickles, who she would often make me take for a walk.
I used to go to Harold Hill Methodist Church and was in the Girls Bridge untill I was 18.
I have such fond memories of Harold Hill, going to Amy Crockford Park and putting on shows then with the Hilltones, going to old peoples homes and concerts at the commuinty centre in Ghoshay Drive. Disco's at the Shack, The Blue Angels, Scrooge and the Misers with Pete Harper and Robin Adams the roadie. Living on the Hill was the best days of my life. I now live in the West Country, lovely as it is, the Hill will always be home. What do I miss? Romford Market, Pie and Mash, the big Bonfire parties to name a few.
