Is This The Causeway

It does not look like the Causeway to me. At the time of the photos, 1898, this road was fully populated with the exception of the Vicarage Garden. The photo shows open field so is perhaps one of the lanes leading up to Denne Park, beyond the Causeway or Denne Road.

Bats/Snow

I lived in a caravan park in Hullbridge 60-64. My memories are of bats that swooped after dark and the year it snowed so bad that the gas froze in the bottles. It started Boxing Day and went on until Easter and we had to leave the van and live with family.
