Witham in the 1800s

My dad and ancestors were born in Witham. Does anyone have any pictures of the early days of Witham, if so they could email me? I would love to hear from anyone who is familiar with the history of Essex. You can email me direct at dorel34@shaw.ca.

Extracts From Terling & Essex books

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

Essex Living Memories

In 1935 the buildings, including the maltings, were demolished as part of a road improvement scheme.
