Nell Not's Shop
A Memory of Noak Hill.
This is the village shop on the road leading toward Romford. I often went there as a child in the 1950s. Nell tried to stock everything people would need and always kept a chair in the shop because it was a long walk for some people to get to there. My father remembers Nell saying that she did not have an item in the shop which he wanted so she offered to get it for him when she next went to Romford on the bus. Later the shop and the next door cottage were bought by the same people and turned into a large bungalow. Further down the road, behind the trees, is Gamekeeper's cottage where my grandfather the gamekeeper to the Neave family lived.
