The Bowling Green, Elmstead Market
My great grandfather William Henry Parkins ran The Bowling Green from the 1920s until his death in 1953. I am aware that the Pub has now closed and the last time I visited (6-7 years ago) it was being converted into a private home. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers my great grandfather or any other... [more]

Donkey & Buskins public house, Layer-de-la-Hay
I was the licensee of the above for an all too brief time and had some regular customers who arrived every week-day evening at opening time and were called "The Club". Among them I remember a Ken & Penny Upton and a retired local Headmaster who was known as "Casey".
Time erodes memory, especially re: names, but I hope someone reads... [more]

Extracts From Fingringhoe & Essex books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Fingringhoe, inspired by Frith photos.
Fingringhoe, five miles south of Colchester on the Roman River, was close to a port once used in Roman times, which is now Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve. In this view, the ancient St Andrew's church and the church school of 1887 stand together above the pond, fed by a spring seen in the foreground.The springwater was used by the villagers and sold locally.

This is a pretty, quiet village close to the Roman River. The Whalebone remains virtually unchanged from the time when this photograph was taken. Nearby is St Michael's church and the school. The church has a large square tower striped horizontally.

Colchester Photographic Memories
Colchester was also visited by the Roman Emperor himself, who considered the capture of this capital vital to the success of the conquest from AD43 onwards. The next appearance on the chart of British history was less happy. Boudicca, or, as she used to be known, 'Boadicea', queen of the Iceni and daughter of King Prasutagus, ruled much of what is now East Anglia and rose in revolt after being... [more]
