Cedar Avenue School

A Memory of Upminster.

I lived near Upminster Bridge from 1947 to 1967, I went to Cedar Avenue Primary School, I remember the headmaster was Mr Ford. Also recall Mr Duffield, and Mr Jenkins.
I have happy memories of playing in the park, seemed so huge then! I have vague memories of my Mum taking me to a lake behind Swan Libraries in St Mary's Lane, to feed the ducks. Probably not there now I guess. Also down Corbets Tye Rd, near the bottom end on the right was another lake with an old bridge over it; does anyone else recall it? At the top of Corbets Tye Rd was a very tall black and white farmhouse called High House; I remember going around the back to buy vegetables.
Along to the left was a small parade of shops with a Poulterer's shop. Not likely to see one of those nowadays!
Well, I could go on……...

I went to Cedar Avenue School from 1950-1953 (I think) but I then went on to Branfil School, next to it, where I believe the headmaster there was Mr Ford
Yes, you are right, the Infants school was Cedar Ave and the junior school was Branfil. Are you still an" Essex boy" ?
