Life Until 40.

A Memory of South Ockendon.

My family returned to South Ockendon in 1964, although both sets of grandparents were in South Road and Broxburn Drive. First lived in Clayburn Gardens, then in 1969 we moved to 34 Cruick Avenue. Small cul-de-sac, originally with the Dudley's, Trebes, Westley's and others. Grew up with the Price's, Taylor's, Coggin's, Darby's, Munday's and loads more. I left several times, only to return to 34. Finally made my break in 2003. When I go back, it amazes me that though some areas have changed, I think many places have stayed the same.
