Life Until 40.

A Memory of South Ockendon.

My family returned to South Ockendon in 1964, although both sets of grandparents were in South Road and Broxburn Drive. First lived in Clayburn Gardens, then in 1969 we moved to 34 Cruick Avenue. Small cul-de-sac, originally with the Dudley's, Trebes, Westley's and others. Grew up with the Price's, Taylor's, Coggin's, Darby's, Munday's and loads more. I left several times, only to return to 34. Finally made my break in 2003. When I go back, it amazes me that though some areas have changed, I think many places have stayed the same.

Hi Cliff, I left on '71, but have returned for trips down Memory Lane several times in recent years, I know what you mean it has changed in so many ways, but still remains the same somehow, of course the bif difference is my old school Culverhouse Girls is gone I was Sheila Boshell back then.
We moved to 95 Clayburn Gardens in '59 and left in '68 when I went to university. My parents left in '69 to move to Dagenham.

I loved my time in South Ockendon.
