This is not a memory as such, however I have been researching my husband's family tree. When speaking to elderly family members I have found that his grandmother's family, the Thorogoods, come from Shalford. I would like to know if there are any Thorogoods still in Shalford. We can't wait to find out more about your village and discover my husband's... [more]

My parents had a weekend cottage at Rotten End in the 1950s, and I remember walking a footpath to Shalford regularly.
Can anybody tell me if this footpath still exists, or anything about it at all?
many thanks

I am originally from St. Helens, Lancashire, and met my husband, Roy, at Burtonwood AFB where I worked. He was stationed at Wethersfield but came on occasion to Burtonwood. When I moved south to be married, I had to live in the neighbourhood for three weeks for the bans to be called out, and my husband's NCOIC was friendly... [more]

Childhood memories great bardfield 1969
My late parents were the landlord and landlady of the Vine public house. I was just coming into teenage years. Friends came from the base who lived in the village. The pub itself was refurbished in that year, meaning all 3 bars were revamped. Although the pub was being worked on, it was always busy, with the local USAF from Wethersfield... [more]

My walk from Mandalay Farm to center of Great Bardfield
I was stationed at RAF Wethersfield from 1961 to 1964 and often on Sundays I would ride with the Gilbey's in their horse-drawn coaches down the lanes and through Great Bardfield. I also met Ted and Dorothy from Mandalay Farm and their children (Donna, her younger sister, and two brothers). We often would walk to Great Bardfield.
It was an exciting... [more]

I was born in Rayne and in the 1950s.I have fond memories of being able to play various sports in the road at School Road with my brother Peter and friend Richard Dodd, gaining a few more players as word got around! We used to mark the Tennis Court on the road with chalk and played many games, sometimes having to... [more]

I lived in Cressing Road, went to Chapel Hill Primary School and then to Braintree County High School. I left there in 1952 when my father was transferred by Crittall Metal Windows, to Dunedin, New Zealand. I remember the 750th Anniversary celebrations in 1949 and had always said I would like to return for the 800th Anniversary, but I couldn't make... [more]

Extracts From Shalford & Essex books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Shalford, inspired by Frith photos.
Essex - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
The cottages on the right were almshouses. They are gone now. The white house just past them is known as the Penthouse - a name connected with the fact that the village pound (or 'pent') for stray cattle once stood here. In the street, the nanny is pushing a pram of an unusual penny- farthing design.

Braintree Town and City Memories
Prior to 1935, all that would have been seen from in front of the church would have been the top of the church spire. In the foreground would have been a collection of dilapidated shops, and a large wooden maltings out of shot to the right. In 1935 the buildings, including the maltings, were demolished as part of a road improvement scheme.
