Does anyone remember the 1950 shooting in post office road
Hi I would love to hear from anyone who knew of Ronald Buckley. He built a home on Post Office Road in Woodham Mortimer. My mum was just 2 years old when my grandad Ronald got shot dead by my uncle David in 1950 (David was 16 at the time). The bungalow my grandad built is no longer there. I would... [more]

From 1961 to 1967 I attended Woodlands School in Oaklands Way, off Postmans Lane, Little Baddow. It was a tiny girls school run single handedly by the late Dorothy Bromley, the classrooms being two white wooden sheds in the garden. There was no playground but there was a grass tennis court that we the pupils had to maintain.
There... [more]

Elijah Mecklenburgh of the Old Rodney Pleasure Grounds
Not a memory, but a mention of my ancestor great great great uncle Elijah Mecklenburgh, born 1837 at Bradfield and died 1913 in Maldon. All I know about him was that he lived at Ravens Farmhouse in Woodham Walter in 1871, and that he had connections to the Old Rodney Pleasure grounds. I have no idea what the... [more]

Another ghostly experience on Grace's Walk
The year is approximate as I was in my teens, so it was somewhere between 1972 and 1974. I had a horse called Shamrock, that I kept in Sandon and I used to ride him through Danbury and Little Baddow all the time. I went down Grace's Walk one day, from the Little Baddow end, alone with the horse, and when... [more]

Extracts From Woodham Walter & Essex books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Woodham Walter, inspired by Frith photos.
Essex - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
The Bell (left) was 'well-situated for trade in the populous and respectable village of Woodham Walter', said one advertisement. The tradition that it was built the same year as the church (1563) seems improbable. In its heyday, The Bell had a tap-room, two parlours, three bedrooms, three attics, beer- and liquor-cellars, a bake-office and a brewery.

Chelmsford Photographic Memories
The building with the cupola was Chelmsford’s first purpose-built police station (erected in 1907), so the policeman in the picture was not far from home. His successors would stand in this same spot on points-duty. Note the car with its wheel- covers - a feature that was not phased out until the late 1920s.

Chelmsford Photographic Memories
The Shire Hall was built in 1789-91 by John Johnson, the County Surveyor. It is Chelmsford's most imposing public building. Over to the left are the studios of Frederick Spalding, the well-known photographer. His premises are capped with a lantern-like structure, to let in maximum light. He also traded in gifts and knick-knacks.
