I remember Bedfords from my childhood. When I was about 12 years old my friends and I used to cycle to Bedfords Park from nearby Elm Park, about 7 miles away. Bedfords Mansion as we used to call it, was being used as a Natural History Museum and had numerous stuffed animals and birds all said to be from the local... [more]

Essex memories
When buses ran past Lloyds Bank .....
I am told that once upon a time buses ran through Romford Market towards Gidea Park. Apparently I was happily standing in the queue with my mother and newly-born sister in a pram waiting for a 174. I held tight to Mum's coat so as not to lose her. Imagine my surprise to find that the coat in question belonged to... [more]

Chigwell Photographic Memories
The house on the right where the lady is standing is now called Ruskin House. But this view is very much changed. The building on the left of the picture is not almshouses, as might be thought from the row of doors; rather, they are early 19th-century agricultural labourers' tenements called Elizabeth Row, and now demolished. The Red Lion beyond Ruskin House has also... [more]

Chigwell Photographic Memories
There is still a stocks and whipping post at Havering-atte-Bower, and there has been since at least the 17th century, when they were destroyed by a mob. They have stood on this location, at the edge of the green on Broxhill Road, since about 1829. Those that stand today date from the 1960s, and are a singular attraction for visitors; the ones we see here... [more]

Chigwell Photographic Memories
This pub on the road to Havering-atte-Bower has retained much of its shape, although it is now brightly painted. Although having an orange tree would have been a great attraction, and the use of such curiosities to attract people to inns were common from the 17th to the beginning of the 20th century, it is not likely that this was the origins of this house. The name the Orange Tree was a political statement of... [more]
