Memory Of Warren Drive

A Memory of Romford.

Found this memory from Marlene Bennett i to lived i warren drive went to benhurst school remembered MR Tew Miss McDonald Mrs Nelson who I was terrified of used to make all sorts of excuses not to go to school ,we used to play over the park a lovely place then cornfields woods the river that we used to jump ,unfortunaly it is not like it now , there was a paddling pool there it was a treat for us to go there when I think of it now I cringe all the children paddling and making out they were swimming the water was so dirty. I I remember Marlene Bennett but cannot put a face to it at the moment all this happens in the middle thirties I now live in Sussex. From M.J S.

I remember Romford market when we were young we used to ask the stall holders if they had any specks (apples) and if they told us to clear of one of us would distract the stall holder while one of us would pinch 2apples then it was run for your life needles to say we never got caught!!
I used to live near Warren Drive, Woburn Avenue, and spent many days over the park , walking the large pipe, and playing by the waterfall, and when at Abbs Cross, I used to do my Cross Country run every morning, completing the whole park boundary, dark mornings too, was so safe in the 60s and 70s , miss those good days
