More about this scene
Several of these buildings are either altered or gone. Bleak House (with the pedimented doorway, right) has been demolished, and rebuilt to an almost identical design. The shop to its immediate left replaced an old house that had been weakened by a detonation during the Second World War. The high-roofed White Hart, along the road, survives to this day.

A Selection of Memories from Billericay
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Billericay
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Looking for Edward F Ralph who married Grace Sipple in 1956 I think you may be my half brother??
Any one remember the 4 miles fun run and the parties at Cherles III,
I used to love the six weeks summer holidays...always walked from South Green to Lake meadows....seemed such a long trek for my little legs...but well worth it...when having taken off my sandals and socks....I could stand on the the fountain and feel on top of the world! Brilliant memory!
I remember my mum taking us to Lake Meadows in the 60's when we were little; me, my 2 sisters and brother. We paddled in this pool. I later remember taking my own daughter in the 80's. Lake Meadows used to have little boats for kids and rowing boats for the lake that we all enjoyed.
The paddling pool was replaced with climbing frames and boating is no longer practiced there. It's still a nice place to visit.
