Manor Road And Crescent Road Primary School

A Memory of Erith.

Hello Audrey and Yvonne! I'm new to my iPad so was amazed to come across your memories! I lived at 24 Manor road next door to you Yvonne with my mum and dad John and Winnie Ellis and my big brothers John and Peter. We all went to crescent road! I remember playing cars with your brother David across the coal bunkers when we were very little. I also remember it being incredible that you all went to the other side of the world when I was 5/6! I can picture your Nan Mrs Page...because of her my mum and I had our ears pierced when I was 8.my brother Pete being 7 yrs older remembers your father cutting his hair and your cousin John Parrish? Being a drummer in his group?
Audrey....Pete also remembers your ballet and going to school on the 480 bus with you..he went to Dartford boys grammar.it was at 8.02or 8.12 he says! Yvonne....Pete remembers Lennie Blake as he called him....happy memories!!! There's lots more...but I ll finish now.hope you both find this interesting!! Best wishes Marilyn Caunter....nee Ellis...living in Torquay south Devon England

Hi again Marilyn, yes the memories have come flooding back. My nan was quite something, I am still sewing thanks to her. She made us all three new outfits to come over in. Len told me he used to bring nan his cigarette ration when he was on the air sea rescue boats in the RAF and sit and talk to my grandpa who was comatose in the lounge room, he was sure he understood some of it. He would give him all the news that i wrote him during that time. I came back in 1971 but nan wasn't alive then and stayed with aunt ethel and uncle Doug for a while then with Len's mum. lovely to here from you both and will keep looking for your entries. best wishes to all your family from ours. Von
