Fishing At Berwick Ponds
A Memory of Rainham.
I used to ride my cycle from Blacksmiths Lane in South Hornchurch to fish in Berwick Ponds in late 50's and early 60's.
I have good memories of sitting on the bank on many a Sunday listening to "Round the Horn", "Billy Cotton's Band Show" and "Hancock's Half Hour" playing on my little battery transistor radio, drinking hot Bovril from my flask and dipping my cheese sandwiches in - ugh! Sometimes the farmer's black and white collie dog from across the road would come and sit to keep us company.
I still have a photo showing me holding a nice perch that I caught there which won me an Angling Times "Kingfisher" Certificate and badge - wow!
In later years, I got married and moved to Thorn Lane, just over the back of Berwick Ponds, but didn't have much chance to go fishing then.
