More about this scene
Nazeing's name means 'settlers on the projection of land'. It sits above the River Lea, and is a world of arable fields and market-garden glasshouses. The Red Lion, in the hamlet of Middle Street, was rebuilt in 1888; it is now a residence called the White House. The car outside is a pre-war Morris.

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.
