More about this scene

Moulsham Street has now been cut in two by the building of Parkway. It is a continuation of the High Street, which we see in C73044. Although only fifteen years separate these two photographs, here motorised traffic seems to cause little problem to those walking and cycling in the road. Loveday and Son, the watchmaker and jeweller's, complete with the clock, still survives on the corner of Baddow Street (left), but the International Stores (right) and many of the other shops have now changed hands.

Does anybody have any memories of the place?

At 16 I joined the Essex Police Cadet School in 1970. The School was built in the late 1960s. Training at the School was for two years. On site education, accommodation and sports facilities was provided. We also were 'bussed' to Chelmsford College of a Further Education - here on a part time basis we obtained qualifications. Part of our training included participating in athletic events ...see more
Looking for help naming a record shop that was in Duke Street in the mid seventies. It was on the left after the Lion & Lamb if you were heading towards the High Street.
