Camper House On Camper Road Next To Southchurch Park

My grandmother, Rebecca Freeman (nee Everitt) had a painting of Camper House on the wall of her home for many years. I knew the picture as a child, and an Arthur Camper who lived in Barking, but didn't remember where the house in the painting was situated. Returning to some family research, I put the house name into Google and came up with your comment. Do you have any Freeman/Everitt/Brown connection as all these families lived in and around Southchurch in the 1800's.

at the end of camper road on the sea front there is a jetty and every summer i spent hours diving of it

Hello
Arthur George Shelley Camper was my grandfather. He lived in Barking and that is where his son, Dennis, met my mother Brenda Backhouse.
My great grandfather was Arthur Samuel Land Camper, a member of the Peculiar People. Emily Annie Playle, mother of my grandmother Olive Elisabeth Playle, married Charles Bridge in 1903. As you say all the families around Prittlewell knew each other. I have found Camper marriages to the Layzells, Bishop, Marshalls, and English families and many emigrated to Utah.
I attended Westcliff High School for Girls and one of my A level teachers was Miss Freeman. Alison Everitt and twins Christine and Jackie Brown were in my class. My research continues.

I think Camper House was knocked down in the 1950s. It was the nearest landmark to the 1898 Victoria railway station when that was built. In 1938, Banyard and Bridge set up a house of worship for the Peculiar People in the nearby Brick House. My grandparents married at the Lambert Street/Milton Street PP church.
