Polly's Hill...

Polly's Hill 1902
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I am really trying to think where this Polly's Hill is in Braintree. I was born and grew up in Braintree in 1976 so not as long as many who might be viewing this site. Even so, I pretty much recognise or even remember in some cases, many of the old photographs shown in this collection. - But this one is not something that sounds or looks familiar. Does anyone else have any recollection of this Road / Street named "Polly's Hill"? It would be good to hear from you. Thanks.

RE: RE: Polly's Hill...

Hi, Pollys Hill is/was at Bocking. It's hardly a hill, more like a slight slope going past Resting Seat House.

It forms part of Bocking Church Street. I think that picture was taken looking back towards Braintree.

My late Father in Law spoke of it often as he delivered milk there in the 1920's
