Happy Days!

A Memory of Erith.

The ice-cream parlour was Diplomas in Pier Road. I too went ballroom dancing above Burton’s.
Went to Crescent Road School, walking past the Co-Op stables every day, seeing the horses who had done the milk rounds. The Odeon was a must for Saturday morning pictures. I can remember getting a Birthday card every year with a sailing ship on it and could go to the pictures for free. Such happy and carefree days and so many friends I still remember. We left Erith when I was 18 and they had started the dreaded re-development or ruin as we saw it of our lovely town. Our house in Queen’s Road, as with most, was demolished and there is a dual carriageway there now! The Church where I was Christened was demolished.Can still remember Mitchell’s and the money being put iinto capsules and sent round the store and the change coming back! I had a lovely childhood in Erith and will always remember it fondly. I was Julie Norris and had a sister Jean and brother John.
