For the next two years they lived off the Island returning in 1944 to Grangeville Clarendon Road, they lived here until approximately 1950 when they then moved to 19 North Avenue .  In 1954 they lived at 6 Westwood Road.  In 1961 Florence and Albert moved to Homestead 7 Montague Road canvey island with their last days at 44 Brookland Square.

  • Great photos. I remember Stanley (known as Gus). He was friends with my brother in law, John. I also remember Cyril. The large group photo looks like it was taken in North Avenue and it looks like Ricky Sanders (with very blond hair)in the middle and I think I recognise a few more.

  • The Chairman of the Council was Sid Alterman. The originator of Alterman’s Arcade, the former owner of what is now known as Knightswick Centre. He was thye original person who proposed that Canvey should declare independence from Castle Point Council. Not successful of course, but in hindsight perhaps a great foresight of what was needed.
