South east London Mercury please

South London needs more coverage address this situation

Hi. I used to live my Mum (Ruth) Dad (Reg) and younger brother (Leslie) in Crewys Road from about 1967-8. We left at short notice in 1968 or thereabouts. My Mum, brother and I thought we were coming back but this did not feature in my Dad’s plans! We left when I was about 8 but think I attended John Donne School.

I would love to catch up with my friends around at the time. I used to hang about with my bestie Carolyn across the road and Desmond and Brendon Reardon(?) whose Mum we rented the flat in Number 45 from. My Mum was gutted we never returned so it would be lovely to tell her I’ve found some people who remember u

Newham Recorder 1970s for me

I was born in Hadleigh in the 1940's at what was 5 London Road, the flat over my Dad's shop, Ross Shoe Repairs. I wonder if many people remember the shop now. I migrated to Australia in 1966 and have not been back as yet. I do not think I would recognise the Hadleigh I was born in, went to school at Hadleigh School and grew up in. From what I can see of photos etc. it is not the attractive village type town it used to be. If anyone wishes to contact me by email I would be pleased to hear from anyone who remembers my Dad, Jim Ross and the shop

During the war the haynes family lived at no21 pepler road then moved to canal grove, the two brothers les & reg worked at the gas works along with the father william who was a fireman

Can anyonr help me please?
My father was born in Hornchurch and lived in Hadleigh. For many years in Ash Road. He served as a volunteer Fireman at Hadleigh from about 1959. From about 1969 he moved to Canvey Island as a full time fireman during the war and his work involved being a dispatch rider.
He played football for the station team and has medals for their success.
Unfortunately I do not have dad's service number so can not trace him through Essex Fire and Rescue Service.
I believe that I must have relatives in the Essex area but again have no details.
I would love to hear from anyone who may remember dad, either personally or from work.
Dad was William Light known as Billy or Sonny by friends and family. He was born in 1950.
My name is Ann-Marie Edge and I can be

My father was born in Meeting House Lane in 1901 on the day Queen Victoria died. He was very fond of ice cream and told me of an Italian ice cream seller – called Califano, who sold ice cream from a horse and cart.

We went to the pictures at the Tower cinema in Rye Lane and to the Gaumont when it first opened. Another place I went was the Ideal cinema in Queen’s Road. There was also a picture house, where Mum took me with a bottle of water, at a place that later became the Peckham Odeon. The films were silent and a piano player accompanied the films!

Later we moved to Brockley. My Dad used to do shift work, and when he came off at 6 a.m. he collected me for an early morning swim. We went to the open-air pool on Peckham Rye. One day I jumped in; there was a thin layer of ice on the water. My muscles froze; I just managed a struggled width, but later hot tea and toast put things right

Like many who live or have lived in Hadleigh
was saddened to see the Waggon & Horses go but must admit the new building looks impressive and does blend in to a certain extent.
