Village Life

A Memory of Orsett.

I was born in Ridgewell Avenue in 1956. I remember when I used to go into Peggy's sweet shop where she used to live with her sister Ada. Next door but one was a small shop which sold wool and sewing accesories. Further along the road nearly opposite the church was the post office which Jack Ridgwell used to run.
