Smallholding in Eastwood Road
This memory is my mum's - in the 1940s she remembers her dad taking her (on his motorbike with mum in the sidecar) to a smallholding on Eastwood Road in Rayleigh - she thinks probably to buy 'day-old chicks' (her parents kept chickens). We are trying to find out the name of the business or the people who ran it as part of our family history investigations - my great-grandfather had previously married Rhoda, who I'm told was a sister of the owner, but it would be interesting to find out what her maiden name was so that we can find out a little more about the family. Any information about the people, the name of the business or even photographs of the smallholding, would be very useful.
