Barnehurst Avenue

A Memory of Northumberland Heath.

My memory is of Barnehurst Avenue, where I was born in Number 48, and I had a great childhood from then on. I remember playing in the road as there were not many cars, going to Martins Grove swimming and playing. I had lots of friends when I was growing up who all lived in the road, we had a great time. I remember waiting for the ice cream man on a Sunday, and playing in the allotments behind my house at the bottom of the garden. If I could buy a house down there now, I would.
