There were 3 schools on that campus. Marsh Hill Boys Technical, Stockland Green Secondry Modern and Marsh Hill Girls Technical. The only entrance allowed for the Boys' School was Hampton Road, the Girls School entrance was at the top of Marsh Hill and the Secondry Modern entrance was further...

Thanks Ian, I shudder to think how many times I walked up and down that road in my school days.

Our cricket at primary school was organised by a teacher, there were no "specialists" back then. How I agree with you about the costs of a day at the Test or a one day game. The Pakistan tour this year was a great example, over half empty grounds, nothing to do with the scandals, ordinary folk...

New a chap once who they said was a bit of a nut case. So he was called "Dagenham Dave" - because he was just this side of Barking !
