Summary
On Monday, November 6, 1978, Norah left her flat, and ventured out in the late evening, planning to go to Southend-on-Sea — visiting a friend who was unwell. Norah’s car was parked in a garage behind The Old Ship pub not even a hundred yards from her flat. Making the journey in the dark wasn’t too daunting as the car was merely a short walk away. Besides, there was plenty of foot traffic, and the streets were well lit. It was a journey she made often.
