My parents lived in Rookwood Close from 1966 to 1972. I remember playing in the woods behind the houses and discovering what looked like a railway tunnel going under the hill. I was able to venture in 20 feet or so but the entrance was blocked by iron bars. Does anyone know what this tinnel was for? My father seems to think that before the houses were built there was a quarry there. Cheers Perce
I also lived in thurrock I was born in 1965 I have friends still live there, I loved my youth knocking around the chalk pits in the summer swimming in the lake where Ikea sits now, I still drive through thinking of the old days my uncle was killed at tunnel cement I remember the day when the police come round my nan's and telling her he had been killed, but most of all I'm proud of where I come from.
