In the the mid 60's I used to watch the car racing above the Essoldo Cinema, and lived in Anchor Road. My Father worked at a Butchers Shop nearby in Holland on Sea.

In the 1970's helped bro Clacton Market, dog track. Finished a darts game with 3 Darts, the losers said I was a hustler, but it was complete in a lifetime throw of Arrows.
