I attended Becontree School from 1950 to 1960. I lived in Winding Way and needless to say grew up at the Social Club, I remember the Barking Lido very well and had some great times there. Ian Robb

I attended Becontree school from infants to seniors 1949-1959. Lived in Winding Way and have just sold the house, the family having lived there from 1948, first tenants after the house was rebuilt following a land mine falling on corner of Becontree Ave. Remember the social club and Ian Robb (who has sadly passed away) Ray Mansell
