Nostalgic memories of Nazeing's local history

Share your own memories of Nazeing and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

When I Lived In Nazeing 1953 1970
I lived at Long Green where my father was a shepherd at St Lawrence Farm. I went to Bumbles Green Primary School where Mr & Mrs Hills lived in the schoolhouse. At that time Mr Brent had the grocery shop, the Welch brothers the garage and the Old Post Office at the top of Nazeing Common was still open. There was also a little sweet shop. I remember swimming in Cobbins Brook, walking across the ...see more

Nazeing 1950's & 1960's
My name is Neil Williamson. I lived at 5 Barnfield Close, Hoe Lane from when I was born in 1950 until I emigrated to Australia in 1965. I attended Nazeing Primary School from 1955 (Bumbles Green) until 1961. I then went to Netteswell High School in Harlow from 1961 until 1965. I remember in the early 1960's - Cliff Richard lived at the top of Nazeing in a huge house called "Rookwood"- it wasn't far from Nazeing Church. As a boy I played with my mates in the old WW2 gun turrets on Nazeing Common.

Auntie Rose
My brother, sister and I used to visit my Dad's aunt and uncle who ran a Cacti nursery, if my memory is right. Lost touch once we all married, but saw them until 1965. We used to cycle from Chingford, where we lived at the time. They had a son called Bill and were called Rose and Bill. Wonder if anyone remembers them? I can't remember the surname tho, but think they lived on Pecks Hill. I now live in Blackpool, so a bit ...see more

The Pond
This is an approximate date, my brother was placed in a boarding school when he was very young. We would travel there at weekends. The pond was very near the big white building he was staying in.

1977 1996
Hi, I am Adam. I moved to Nazeing in 1977, aged 3 years old, with my mum and dad. We moved down from Harlow, to be nearer my grandparents. I went to Nazeing Primary School and so did my younger sister Joanne, born 1979. She also went to Nazeing Primary School. Then I went to Cardinal Bourne in Broxbourne 3 years later. Joanne went to Mark Hall in Harlow. I spent a lot of time around the rivers and lakes and took up fishing. ...see more
