When I Lived In Nazeing 1953 1970

A Memory of Nazeing.

I lived at Long Green where my father was a shepherd at St Lawrence Farm. I went to Bumbles Green Primary School where Mr & Mrs Hills lived in the schoolhouse. At that time Mr Brent had the grocery shop, the Welch brothers the garage and the Old Post Office at the top of Nazeing Common was still open. There was also a little sweet shop.
I remember swimming in Cobbins Brook, walking across the frozen gravel pits at Snakey Lane, discovering the wing of a plane brought down during the war in the wood at the bottom of Nazeing Common and David Mansfield climbing to the top of an elm tree at King Harold's Head for a rook's egg.
A rhythm & blues quartet, RBQ, played at the youth club held at Bumbles Green, in about 1964.
Most of all I remember the abundance of wildlife in the countryside of Nazeing, the brooks & streams were full of life.
