Does anyone know of Sylvia Eileen Newman who lived in Great Baddow as a domestic servant in the late 1950s or 1960s? She later moved to Witham. Her surname later became Brewer.

Extracts From Great Baddow & Essex books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Great Baddow, inspired by Frith photos.

Essex Living Memories

The White Horse stands in the High Street with a car park at the rear. Note the tall, brick-built chimneys. On the grass in front of the hotel is a pump and a trough. The hotel has now extended into the next building with the porch.

Chelmsford Photographic Memories

The building with the cupola was Chelmsford’s first purpose-built police station (erected in 1907), so the policeman in the picture was not far from home. His successors would stand in this same spot on points-duty. Note the car with its wheel- covers - a feature that was not phased out until the late 1920s.

Chelmsford Photographic Memories

The Shire Hall was built in 1789-91 by John Johnson, the County Surveyor. It is Chelmsford's most imposing public building. Over to the left are the studios of Frederick Spalding, the well-known photographer. His premises are capped with a lantern-like structure, to let in maximum light. He also traded in gifts and knick-knacks.
