Going Back For A Visit After 60years In Us
A Memory of Elm Park.
I moved to Elm Park in 1953 lived on Woodcoat Ave until about 1965. Went to Benhurst then Suttons then Ford Trade School when I was 16. I had many friends including Colin Styles,Jumbo Jarvis,Gilbert Osborn,Kenny Walker,Bruce McAllister,Peter Brinkworth and many others.As to girls I had a crush on Vivian Archer and Lorrenda Drew. Was caned by Mr Pike and Mr Grey also the Headmaster on one occasion Mr Head.Stayed at Fords until I was 21 then got recruited by RCA and ended up in the US where I am still. I'll be 81 next week.
Think about Elm Park a lot and actually I am returning next week to visit my sister and her family who have recently moved to Elm Park from Barking. I am really looking forward to being back there after all these years. If anyone remembers me or any of my childhood friends please reach out.
