Valence Avenue
A Memory of Dagenham.
I was born in 1947. My Dad had been a POW throughout WW2 but came back and married my Mum, Eva Loring, who lived with her mum, dad, 4 brothers and one sister at 178 Valence Avenue. Mum & Dad married and I came along, but Mum had TB and died in 1952. I then lived with my Nan and Grandad in Valence Avenue until 1955. I went to Green Lane School and remember Miss Grisdale, a veteran teacher who had also taught my uncles and Dudley Moore, who lived in Baron Road, round the corner. I have many tales about that time. Let me know if you would like more.....
