All It Is Memories

A Memory of Rayleigh.

I read the piece about Bull Lane and the stream on the left hand side,we used to collect Frogs spawn from there, and Old Farmer Snow and his Farm, because as kids we used to go Horse riding there, I used to live in the shop in Hilary Crescent moved in there in 1957, I was 10, it was a Grocery and Provisions,my Dad bought it new for my Mum, and we moved in when I was ten from Eastwood Road, we lived in the Bungalow nearly opposite the Chase, and believe it or not it is still there now all done up, My Dad had a business down Crown Hill called Rayleigh Wood Craft opposite the Station on the bend next to Devenish,s. I loved living in Rayleigh and still miss it today, BUT it would have changed so-so much.

Hi I was born in Rayleigh in 1958 & used to go horse riding at Snows Farm from about 18 months old until we moved to Canvey Island. I was wondering if you have any memories of what happened to the farm & the horses as it's one of the few things I remember from Rayleigh. I used to ride "Joey" & "Pee Wee" & my Mum rode Hawthorn.
