Chalk Street Rettendon
A Memory of Runwell.
My father's family lived in Rose Cottage, Chalk Street from before the war till about 1970. My father was Fred Little, he unfortunately passed away in 1969 at the age of 46.
My father had John, Joe, Percy, Jim, Peg and Nellie as brothers and sisters.
My grandmother was Sarah Little, she, as I remember, moved in 1970 and passed away shortly after.
My sister Janet and I used to go to Mrs Turpins farm over the road to get bent cucumbers in the summer (they were cheaper).
Up until my Nan moved there was no running water in the cottage and a water standpipe in the middle of the front garden, the toilet was a shed down the bottom of the garden with a bucket that had to be emptied into the ditch weekly.
