Childhood Visits To Stanford Le Hope

A Memory of Stanford-le-Hope.

My uncle George Boyce lived in a flat-roofed white-painted house on the corner of an unmade side road not far from the church at the 'T' junction at the end of the road.
He and my uncle Bill Boyce built the cinema that stood back from the road between the white house and the church and on the same side of the road. I was only 5 - 8 years old when I visited Stanford and cannot remember any other details. My mum and I used to travel there from Pitsea on a double decker bus. Uncle used to take me to the cinema and I was allowed to watch the films showing from the projection room.
The cinema was later converted to a Bingo hall after both uncles had emigrated.
