More about this scene
The area of Burnt Oak was centred on the King's Head, just off to the right. The shop offers an alternative to alcohol by offering teas and snacks, in a time before pub food was the norm. The long building on the right was the parish Town House, or Poor House, purchased in 1654 and in use until 1834.

My best friend was Janet King. She was such fun and had a great personality. We cycled everywhere in those days and I have very fond memories of Flatford and swimming at the bridge. I lived in Mistley but loved staying at Burnt Oak. I wonder if Janet is still alive. I worked for a few years at BX plastics in the office. Would appreciate a reply from anyone who knew Janet. I remember her uncle too..and her father returning from war best wishes Thelma nee Edwards
My aunt Jessie (King) lived in the house on the left of the picture from around 1920 to 1954. In 1954 she moved out and my uncle Sidney (Edwards) ( her brother) moved into the house and turned it into a little tea room come snack bar. It was very popular with the kids at that time who could spend a few pence on a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps. The house next to the tea room was a bakers, owned by Mr Stow.
