Old Haunts Part 1

Between 1984 and 1993 I lived in a small village in Essex called Bicknacre. All of my teenage years were spent there and it's where some of my life long friends come from and it's also where I learnt to skateboard.


This was my old house (the one on the left), I suspect there are still Star Wars figures in the hedges



This is the entrance to the street



The Westerings. There is a stream by those trees where we used to play and where I first met my oldest friend, who I learnt to skate with back in 1986



This bend was the location of our first experience with a skateboard, we started off jumping out of the curb cut, then we tried to roll around the corner and do the little jump and by the end of the day we learnt to bomb the hill, carve the bend and hop out of the curb cut on to the rough street. We were hooked.
