Golf In St Chads Park

A Memory of Chadwell Heath.

I remember playing golf in St Chads park, it had a 18 hole, well kept course. There was a paddling pool, were I sometimes sailed my model boat. I also remember the Council run playleader scheme, were you could borrow sports equipment, stilts etc. All you had to do was sign your name and bring the equipment back when you'd finished with it.
All this was in the late 50s/early 60s.
I lived on Marks Gate and went to the Warren Secondary school, until 1965. I lived on Marks Gate until I got married in 1972
