6th May 1936. My younger sister Jean Margaret was born at 23 Coptfold Road, Brentwood, Essex UK. Coptfold Road is now a multi-storey car park ! I have memories of nightmares, in which I woke up and was scared of the reflection in the mirror across the room, presumably a dressing table. Then someone came and hung a blanket over the mirror and I was OK. I also remember going to Woolworth's in the High Street, and I couldn't see over the counter. I remember talking about the coming baby's little fingers and toes! These are memories of my life as a four year old before the Second World War. My Dad started as a nurse at Brentwood Mental Hospital in 1928, two years before he was married to my Mum in June 1930. I 've got a picture of their wedding, so I'll look for it and post it soon.
Your memory is outstanding! You are remembering things 83 yrs ago! Wow...just wow!
