Mud and Beer: A memory of Rochford

Mud And Beer

A Memory of Rochford.

Although we lived in Ashingdon, my mum used to take me and my siblings swimming at Stambridge Mill. The Cherry Tree pub nearby was where I used to go under-age drinking before I left school. As a very young child I remember visiting Rochford Market and seeing the farm animals there. In 1972 I used to go to a folk club in the Kings Head, Rochford Square. One of my earliest jobs was in Clemments Bakery, Rochford.

To the west of Rose cottage, there was a single story property which as kids in the late forties we referred to as Noahs Arch, which had a large grape vine running along the front of it, alas not reachable from the pavement. At the west end of the garden there was a small footpath where there was a lovely pond at times full of .......frogs sporn!!
