Ballroom Dancing

A Memory of Chadwell Heath.

Yes I remember squeezing into my silver shoes and learning to cha cha with Aldcroft and Taylor above the Gaumont. Must have been seven or eight I suppose.I thought DotTaylor was the most glamorous woman I had ever seen!
Also I used to watch them whirling around from across the road while I was sitting in the window at the Bendix launderette where my mum went every week. A man called Mr Sharp was in charge and I was fascinated by the huge range of multi-coloured screwdrivers he kept in the breast pocket of his white coat!
