These unique childhood memories provide a look at working class life as it once was . Jean Hendy-Harris writes of growing up in Gravesend and Northfleet, towns flanking the River Thames and the mysterious marshland of the estuary in the years that followed WW2. Daily life changed in a leisurely manner and it was a time when the scattered communities were still conversant with the Kentish dialect.
This is a miscellany of recollections emerging from impressionable years spent within a large and dysfunctional family that sat on the edges of respectability.
Some of the observations of friends and neighbours and comment upon the often inexplicable behaviour of adults are amusing and some decidedly not so. And from time to time these glimpses into the past may evoke a déjà vu response and feeling of familiarity in those who knew someone who was there at the time.
