Small Person
As a boy i walked past the Dutch Cottage on my way to the high street , as a child i found it a bit eerie , i saw a small person coming out of there a couple of times which seemed to add to the afect . by the mid 70`s the cottage had lost it`s clean chocolate box cover look and had become dirty and in need of some TLC , i think this is due to the bus`s and lorry`s they all used Crown Hill back then , i`d be intrested to know what the cottage looks like now as i haven`t seen it since the early 80`s when i moved to Cornwall.
1957-1965
I used to walk from way down Eastwood Road to Crown Hill and down to The Sweyne School for many years. I always used to look at the Cottage with awe thinking how old it was and wondering at the history it had seen. I doubt that it exists today, because the vandals would have desecrated anything old in favour of a new parking lot or similar. They will only regret it when it is too late.

Dutch Cottage
I live 4 doors down from the cotttage and it is still going strong.
Dutch Cottage
I also remember this charming little cottage from my childhood in the 1960's. Was so pleased to see it featured on BBC Breakfast this week & to hear it is open to the public once a week by the young woman who now lives there.
Rayleigh High Street
I was brought up in Rayleigh and have memories of the High Street since I was a small child in the 1950s, and remember going to the shops with my mother. I moved away years ago so these photos brought back a lot of memories for me.
My Memories of The Top End of Rayleigh High Street
I lived on the Lower Road between Hockley and Hullbridge between 1950 and 1967. Rayleigh was our local town. Before Woolworths was built, there was a garage on the site. I think it was called the Waterloo garage. My father bought a wartime ex-army Commer utility vehicle from them (in the very early 1950s). He used this for his mobile greengrocery round around Rayleigh. There was two way traffic in the High Street in those days! I was a Wolf Cub member of the Second Rayleigh Holy Trinity Pack in the Parish Church in the background at the top of the hill.
Rayleigh
I too remember this cottage well as I used to walk past it every day going to Sweyne School. I found this site by accident but am glad that I did find it. As I now live in New Zealand it is good to see some photographs of my old home town which I grew up in (getting homesick now). Thank you for the pictures.
