Essex memories
Land Army Girls
I am looking for any Land Army Girls who were billeted in the Hostel at Plough Lane, Leavenheath.
Would like to hear from you as I am compiling a history of the site.
'Threeways Cafe', Bures
My dad and mum owned the Threeways Cafe in Bures for a while in the late 1950s, they where Eddie and Margaret Morris. If anyone remembers them I would like to see their memories.

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER MY DAD?
My dear dad, who is 90, was as a small child sent to live on a farm in Stoke By Nayland, as he was orphaned. It would be between about 1924-1929. He has very happy memories of staying with the farmer and his wife. Dad was also a choir boy at the local church. His name is Dennis Craddock, and he would love to hear from anyone (still alive!) that might remember him. We are planning a trip to Stoke by Nayland before the end of the year.
Stanway Workhouse
I have been doing a lot of family research of late. Many of my relations lived in West Bergholt from about 1820 till the present day. Samue Long died in Stanway Workhouse in 1897. I wonder if any one could help me with some information regarding this instituion, and perhaps I could find out more about Samuel. Many thanks, Tony Long
Happy Summer Days at The Pool
This photo' reminded me of those carefree summer days when we would cycle from Myland to the pool, leave our bikes, unlocked, in a heap outside, pay our 6d and go to the dank, cold, changing room under the bridge.
The girls had to cross the end of the pool by a boardwalk to their changing room on the other side.
There were high diving boards so the pool was about ten feet deep at the deep end. We discovered that there was a hole in the underwater wire netting beneath the boardwalk where we could dive down to come up under the boardwalk to bang on the boards as the girls walked over,
We spent many hours sunbathing and swimming, later to retrieve our bikes, intact, from beneath the pile.
Sadly, the pool is now closed. I'm sure the modern pools are nowhere near as much fun as that outdoor pool at Colnebank.

Colchester
While we were living in Colchester between 1955 and 1958, I was confirmed at this church at Lexden, Colchester. I had little memory of the church, but then while looking through the photos for Colchester I came across this photo much to my delight as this was where I was confirmed. Colchester Castle grounds was a beautiful place to walk through. Every year the Army Tattoo was displayed in the grounds too.
Colchester 1960s
Lived Colchester late 1950s to late 1960s. Fond memories of picnics in the castle grounds with my young sister and baby brother. Boats on the lake. Military tattoo. Returned after years away and though there was change, much remained the same - thank goodness.
