I remember when Broad Street had a village atmosphere and the people were employed and employed locally and school holidays could be enjoyed at Leys swimming pool . A continuous Labour run council , Labour MPs and a couple of Labour governments destroyed all that .

Our first marital home from 1980 was in Rowney Road. Happy memories of taking our small children to Parsloes Park

I lived there for years before moving out of Becontree. A lot of happy and also sad memories. We used to chat over the fences with neighbours. As the years moved forward fast they had either passed over or moved away in the end.....
