I was born in Laindon in 1923. Lived in Sandringham Road until moving to Southend-on-Sea in 1936. Went to school at High Road School. I worked at Laindon station when Mr Sims (Joan's Dad) was Station Master. I remember a Mr. Monk who worked at the 'goods' yard office, and he lived in one of the railway cottages. Other folk working at Laindon station I remember were Sid Cordery, a Mr. Revell and Don Harvey.
I now live in NZ, and have been back to Laindon several times, and I am also amazed at the changes.
