Nostalgic memories of Thorpe Bay's local history

Share your own memories of Thorpe Bay and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

A cousin found an old Birthday Book in which the names of some people from Thorpe Bay feature. We wonder if these were family members: Eileen Wells, 11 Plas Newydd, Thorpe Bay, Essex, Birthday February 28. Mrs. Day, 10 Plas Newydd. May 14. Miss A Wells, 11 Plas Newydd, October 14. Alice Wells, 11 Plas Newydd, October 28. We are hoping that they are connected to the Hesk family, and would be happy to hear from anyone who may know of them. Thank you, Ivy Trott in South Africa.
