More about this scene
The substantial building behind the trees is Billericay church, which was rebuilt in 1780, though retaining its fine 15th-century brick tower. Goodspeeds ('Best Buy: Fine Fat English Plaice 2/2 a lb') was originally part of The Chequers Inn, the bulk of which lies just outside our picture, to the left. The half-timbered house dates from c1450.

A Selection of Memories from Billericay
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Billericay
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Looking for Edward F Ralph who married Grace Sipple in 1956 I think you may be my half brother??
Any one remember the 4 miles fun run and the parties at Cherles III,
I used to love the six weeks summer holidays...always walked from South Green to Lake meadows....seemed such a long trek for my little legs...but well worth it...when having taken off my sandals and socks....I could stand on the the fountain and feel on top of the world! Brilliant memory!
I remember my mum taking us to Lake Meadows in the 60's when we were little; me, my 2 sisters and brother. We paddled in this pool. I later remember taking my own daughter in the 80's. Lake Meadows used to have little boats for kids and rowing boats for the lake that we all enjoyed.
The paddling pool was replaced with climbing frames and boating is no longer practiced there. It's still a nice place to visit.
