I just had to reply to this post! I lived in Gants Hill for 25 years with my parents - and yes I'm jewish but I don't know Sarah Finkelbaum - I also hope she's not an egullet member or she'd be terribly embarrassed by this!! Ruth - what year did you leave School? Maybe we know eachother/ Youre not Ruth Lawrence by some incredible coincidence are you/ I went to Beal High School and graduated in 1986. And I remember Sharons the kosher restuarant on teh way to Valentines Park. Nice cutlery, crisp white linen and great salt beef - a real "grown up" treat when yuo're a child. Apparantly it closed down due to unhygenic kitchens!! Gants Hill is not such a bad place and makes me feel really nostalgic...
