More about this scene

Continuing the development of houses along the main Dunmow to Colchester Road, these fine houses, dating from the turn of the 20th century, were also built for the growing middle class. They were known locally as 'The Villas'. Mr Leonard Alden, who ran a tailor and outfitter's business, had one of these houses.

I lived in 77 Challis Lane in the late forties to 1955. At age nine our family moved to Australia. My Father Frank Kirrage, worked on the Buses, then managed the Cafeteria, My Mother, Charlotte worked at the Hospital.My name is Tony Kirrage and would be great to hear from anyone who remembers us.
WOW, what a Great Picture !! If only there was another Picture taken from the other side as that is where I live , I know it would have been the land of Great Bradfords Farm. I am doing a History of my House , really it is amazing what you can find , sadly I cannot find much on Coggeshall Road .
