From Bushey Avenue to Basildon Road






After WWII, Don and Eileen Mackie stayed temporarily with Don's brother Jack at Bushey Avenue. But in February or March 1948, they moved into what had been Don's family home in Basildon Road. (Or more precisely, the new house that had been built on the site, as the original had been destroyed by a bomb in WWII.) Here we see the estimate and receipted invoice for removal from Furlongs of Woolwich. Some of these are slightly larger than A4, so I have had to scan them in as overlapping sections. You will notice that the invoice is made out to Mrs A.M. Mackie. No doubt the young couple setting up home appreciated some help from the "Bank of Mum and Dad".
