Derwent. Parade
A Memory of South Ockendon.
We lived @ 52 Derwent Parade above Harry Fenton's outfitters. Mum work at Phillips sweet shop beside the stairs to the flats above.
Other shops included Watts furniture, the Co Op, Woollies and the sensational , or so we thought, Sainsburys
Happy days in a good community of people who remembered the privations of the East End.
As my Nan said people had hearts now they have purses.
We left for Nottinghsm in 1969.

Those were the good old days!
My mother is still alive at 94 years old and living elsewhere in Essex.
Do you recall the name of the greengrocers in Broxburn Parade? Mum worked in the fish shop during the 1950s and I am sure there was a greengrocers. We have no photos of the area as they were destroyed which is such a shame.
