More about this scene
Before Station Road became the bustling thoroughfare it is today, the photographer poses the children on the pavement and in the road to complete this Edwardian scene. The tower of the National School is in the centre, the Bell crossroads are in the distance, and Roomes store will be built to the right of the photographer.

So many memories of Upminster in growing up, thankfully my memory is still intact. Wonder how many people remember the following, Silver Horn sold the most delicious ice cream in Corbets Tey Road.

I was born at 1,The Crescent, Cranham in 1956. The house was a small Victorian one with a large back garden and orchard which had a tiny run down Gazebo in it, the orchard backed onto the "Brickies", where we used to make clay bowls and have mud fights. The Crescent was a dusty pebbled road. I went to the Bell school in Upminster until I was 7 when we moved to Ingrave. Happy times.
I wonder if anyone remembers a man that used to deliver cakes round Upminster in the late 1960's? If so, does anyone remember his name?
