Down The Lane

A Memory of Chadwell Heath.

Lived off Chadwell Heath Lane/Hall Road. Grandad ran the green grocers on the corner of Reynolds Ave and Chadwell Heath Lane. It was family run; me, father, mum and oldest brother....great memories as a child. The paper shop next door was run by 'old man Hayes', I worked marking up morning papers, miserable old so and so - no one liked him. Then there was Heath stores run by Tony Pupa (nice fellow), went to school with his daughter Julia (first kiss, only a kid but you never forget). Great families, all with characters in. Big family's- will name a few; the Watsons, Mark and five lovely sisters, the Grants, little Gillian, sister Sue and 4 brothers including twins, the reids, the Rutters, the Wades, the Riley's and the Hyatts...great memories and last of all my own 4 brothers and a sister, a great time and place to grow up in.

I lived in Jarrow Road and walked past the Green Grocers on the corner of Reynolds Avenue every day on my way to Chadwell Heath Primary School. I can remember buying sweets at Beestons.
During the war there was a traffic accident in the High Street. A car mounted the pavement and hit my mother and me in a pram. We were both pushed through the front window of Nicols the Tailer. (I think that was the name).
I can remember Paul Garka,, David Lawrence and Tony Cansel.
All seems a long time ago now, and I had forgotten all these details until I found this Web Page/
