AnonyMouse_19782 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Picnic always on the hill at Leigh on Sea, followed by the evening in Southend, walk on the pier, Rossi ice cream, occasionally Peter Pan's playground and never never land, always the lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_9650 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Can anyone remember getting up to watch the apollo moon landing in black and white too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Dont remember watching the landings but I do remember there always seemed to be a rocket taking off. I remember watching the FA cup final and how it was such a huge event, everone gathered round the tele no matter who was playing, my dad didnt even watch football but the FA cup was a must.

Inge I still have lots of family in Essex, and occasionally get down to Southend. Visiting my mum tomorrow, she had lived in Billericay for about 30 years but is now in Pitsea. We originally came from Barking, dad being one of the many workers at Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middx.. close to the border of Essex, Hertfordshire, could walk to all 3 ...Hence Southend being the closest for us.. Clacton occasionally had a look in but not very often!
